The licensed premises shall meet all requirements of law and of this subchapter, including any special requirements for the specific license sought. In addition to any requirements which appear elsewhere in this subchapter, the following requirements shall apply.
(A) No license shall be granted for any premises restricted against commercial use through zoning ordinances and other proceedings or legal processes regularly had for that purpose, except a license may be issued to a restaurant in an area which was restricted against commercial uses after the establishment of the restaurant. This restriction shall not apply to a temporary on-sale 3.2% malt liquor license or to a temporary on-sale intoxicating liquor license, except to the extent required by law.
(B) No license shall be granted for any premises within 1,500 feet of any public school that is not within the city. This restriction shall not apply to a temporary on-sale 3.2% malt liquor license or to a temporary on-sale intoxicating liquor license, except to the extent required by law.
(C) No license shall be granted to any person in connection with the premises of another to whom a license could not by law be issued. This shall not prevent the granting of a license to a proper lessee because the person has leased the premises of a minor, a noncitizen who is not a resident alien, or a person who has been convicted of a crime other than a violation of M.S. Chapter 340A, as it may be amended from time to time.
(D) No license shall be granted for any premises within 50 feet of any public school or church, as measured by the shortest distance between the nearest point of the licensed premises to the school or church building. This limitation shall not apply to a temporary on-sale 3.2% malt liquor license or a temporary on-sale intoxicating liquor license. The City Council may, at its discretion, waive this requirement and continue to issue any license when the school or church is established at the location in question after a license has first been issued, upon finding that the public health, safety, and welfare will not be harmed by issuance of the license.
(E) No license shall be granted for any premises upon which any real estate taxes or installments of special assessments are delinquent, or upon which any financial claims of the city are delinquent.
