Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Ocean City public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Extension of Ocean Sands Hotel redevelopment variances
The owners of the Majestic Hotel on the Boardwalk at 7th Street asked the board to extend prior redevelopment approvals, keeping the project alive.
Lazy Lizard Off-Site Parking Reconfiguration
The Lazy Lizard is consolidating its parking: adding land to Lot D on St. Louis Avenue for 51 spaces, keeping other lots, and releasing two lots it no longer needs. Total parking rises to 78 against a 77-space requirement, with flooding-tolerant landscaping still being worked out.
Special Event Zone / Public Safety
Ocean City is setting up a Special Event Zone for Endless Summer Cruisin', so expect extra traffic rules and heavier police enforcement near the boardwalk this weekend. If you're driving in, plan for delays and follow the posted rules closely.
