Any person, vendor or place of business desiring a special permit for extended hours or a Sunday morning hours permit shall file with the City Clerk a typewritten or printed application on forms provided by the City. Such application, among other things, shall state the location where such business is to be conducted; the name of the applicant together with the names of the individuals operating a business under their own or under a trade name; the names of the officers or members of the firms engaged in any such business; the names of all individuals or business entities owning five (5) per cent or more of the assets of a business (excluding publicly owned corporations); the type of business license issued by the State of Florida and the number thereof.

No application may be deemed completed until the requirements of this paragraph are met.
The City Commission may require, as a condition of the privilege of extending hours of operation, compliance with any reasonable conditions deemed by the commission to be necessary to mitigate or eliminate the adverse effects of such extended hours. These conditions may include, without being limited to, provision by the owner or operator of the premises to provide at his expense additional off-street parking, security personnel, off-duty police personnel, screening and buffering from nearby properties. The City Commission may also require a cash bond in an amount they deem appropriate, but not in excess of two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) to ensure that the conditions which have been required are faithfully performed. No bond as provided herein will be forfeited unless a hearing before the City Commission is held and it is determined that the conditions which have been required have not been performed.
