(B) Existing establishments. Existing establishments, businesses or facilities that currently sell alcoholic beverages shall either comply with all conditional use permit requirements or shall cease selling alcoholic beverages in a manner and time consistent with the amortization provisions provided in subchapter 153.200, Nonconforming Lots, Structures and Uses.
(C) Specific location attributes. In any decision to issue a conditional use permit, consideration shall be given to the location of the proposed facility.
