(b) For purposes of this section, measurements must be made in a straight line, without regard to intervening structures or objects, from the nearest entry door in the part of a building used as a teen dance club to the nearest entry door in the part of a building used as a business that serves or sells alcoholic beverages.
(c) Any business that is operating a teen dance club on the effective date of this chapter shall be considered to be a lawfully non-conforming business, subject to the licensing and regulatory provisions of this chapter, and to all applicable provisions of the Brooklyn Zoning Ordinance regarding nonconforming uses, but shall not be subject to the location prohibitions of this section.
