Weeknight outdoor-seating hours cut from 11pm to 10pm
Naples City Council · Item 14 · First reading · June 18, 2026
What this means for Bayside Provisions
The proposed ordinance would roll back permitted sidewalk-café operating hours in the Fifth Avenue South overlay from 11:00 PM to 10:00 PM on weeknights (Sun–Thu), and introduces a tiered permit fee based on seat count.
Your profile indicates ~24 outdoor sidewalk seats and that weeknight outdoor service is a meaningful share of covers. A one-hour earlier close on weeknights directly reduces your highest-margin service window, and the new seat-based fee tier would apply to you at renewal.
The item passed first reading and is scheduled for a second reading and final vote on August 19. Public comment is open until then — this is the window where the hours or the fee tier could still be amended.
Transcript — the moment it came up
01:42:0601:41:52Vice Mayor: Let's move to Item 14, the outdoor-seating overlay amendment. Staff?
01:42:06Planning Dir.: Thank you. The amendment does two things. First, it brings weeknight sidewalk-café hours back to 10 PM, from the current 11 PM, Sunday through Thursday. Weekend hours are unchanged.
01:42:31Planning Dir.: Second, it replaces the flat annual café permit with a tiered fee — establishments over twenty outdoor seats move to the higher tier.
01:42:58Councilmember: And how many establishments on Fifth does that higher tier actually touch?
01:43:10Planning Dir.: Roughly eleven, by our count. The overlay runs from the 400 block through the 800 block.
01:43:29Councilmember: I'd want to hear from those owners before we go to second reading.
