OCEAN CITY – Proposed changes to the section of the City Code regarding display of outdoor merchandise on the Boardwalk aims to clarify confusion and allow for easier enforcement.
Last week the Planning and Zoning Commission held a public hearing concerning proposed changes to the City Code involving outdoor display of merchandise standards for properties fronting the Boardwalk.
The first proposed change was amending the title of the Boardwalk Development Association (BDA) to the Ocean City Development Corporation Boardwalk Committee (OCDCBC) due to the association joining forces with OCDC.
The main issue was OCDCBC had proposed to scratch, “Properties with a 32-foot setback from the Boardwalk are allowed a 12-foot display area adjacent to the building. The display area within the setback may not exceed 30 percent of the setback display area; the allowed amount of merchandise may be displayed no closer than 10 feet to the Boardwalk” and “Properties with less than a 32-foot setback from the Boardwalk area are allowed an 8 foot display area to the building. The display area within the setback may not exceed 30 percent pf the setback display area; the allowed amount of merchandise may be displayed no closer than 10 feet to the Boardwalk.”

You know the beaches will no longer get any of my money any longer..they have ruined it so much.. no fn to be had
Nothing but junk from China on the boardwalk anyway. Nearly as bad as the Springfest and Sunfest merchandise. Junk...
If I were within 12 feet of where people might see my 3 foot message that proposes greater exposure than 40%, I might get excited about this. Since less than 3% actually care what I think of 60% of the limited population that causes 50% of our problems, I am going to sleep through this one. This is certainly an issue that Jim Mathais is more capable of dealing with.
But a pole dancer can throw it in your face- right on the boardwalk- no 10 ft back. I'd like to walk the boards without the Boardwalk characters trying to block your way.
11:02 Hay leave her alone! She is the best thing to happen to OC. There is nothing down there as beautiful or as exciting! All OC has to offer is bar after bar, no quality entertainment.
