The President shall keep a complete record of all licenses issued by him and shall supply the Clerk, Treasurer and Chief of Police a copy of the same. Upon issuance or revocation of a license, the President shall give written notice to these same officers within forty-eight (48) hours. (235 ILCS 5/4-1)
(A) By separate ordinances of the Village Board may set a limitation upon the number of licenses to sell alcoholic liquor at retail to be issued for each above classification of license. As licenses are revoked, expire without renewal, are substituted for different class of licenses, or for any other reason cease to exist, the total number of available licenses for each classification shall automatically be reduced until the total number of licenses issued for each class does not exceed the number authorized by the Village Board.
(B) If any establishment selling alcoholic liquor is annexed to and becomes a part of the Village, the various alcoholic liquor licenses as enumerated in this Section shall be increased in number only in the class which the annexed establishment qualifies provided the annexed establishment holds a current valid liquor license from the governmental entity from which the establishment was annexed and from the State of Illinois.
(C) The following limits are established on the number of licenses to sell alcoholic beverages in the Village:
Class A 2
Class B 2
Class C 2

In any event, all provisions of this Section shall apply to an on-premises retail licensee that conducts product sampling.

No license shall be issued for the sale of any alcoholic liquor at retail within one hundred (100) feet of any church, school (other than an institution of higher learning), hospital, home for the aged or indigent persons, or for veterans, their spouses or children or any military or naval station; provided, that this prohibition shall not apply to hotels offering restaurant service, regularly organized clubs or to restaurants, food shops, or other places where the sale of alcoholic liquors is not the principal business carried on if such place of business so exempted shall have been established for such purposes prior to the taking effect of this Chapter; nor to the renewal of a license for the sale at retail of alcoholic liquor on the premises within one hundred (100) feet of any church or school where such church or school has been established within such one hundred (100) feet since the issuance of the original license.

(235 ILCS 5/6-11)
A retail liquor dealer's license shall permit the sale of alcoholic liquor only on the premises described in the application and license.
