(A) No permit authorizing the sale of beer will be issued when such business would cause congestion of traffic or would interfere with schools, residences, churches or other places of public gathering, or would otherwise interfere with the public health, safety and morals. In no event will a permit be issued authorizing the manufacture or storage of beer, or the sale of beer within 300 feet of any school, residence, church or other place of public gathering.
(B) Distances shall be measured in a straight line from the nearest point on the property line upon which sits the building from which the beer will be manufactured, stored or sold to the nearest point on the property line of the school, residence, church or other place of public gathering. No permit shall be suspended, revoked or denied on the basis of proximity of the establishment to a school, residence, church or other place of public gathering, if a valid permit had been issued to any business on that same location, unless beer is not sold, distributed or manufactured at that location during any continuous six-month period.
(C) There shall be no distance requirement placed on business within the C-1 Central Business District.
