5-6-15: PREMISES OPERATED AS RESTAURANTS:
Every applicant for a State license for the sale of liquor by the drink or for the sale of beer for consumption on the premises claiming that the premises for which such license is sought constitute and are operated as a restaurant shall, with each application for State license and with each application for renewal of license, file with the Chief of Police a statement under oath setting forth that such premises constitute and are operated as such restaurant. Upon issuance of a State license for the sale of liquor by the drink or for the sale of beer for consumption on the premises, for premises constituting and operated as a restaurant, the licensee of which has filed the sworn statement herein required, the Chief of Police shall endorse on the face of the license the fact that it has been issued to a restaurant. Unless such sworn statement shall have been filed with the Chief of Police and his said endorsement shall appear on the face of the license, the restriction contained in section 5-6-12 of this chapter shall apply, notwithstanding that such premises may in fact constitute and be operated as a restaurant, and the posting of signs as provided for in section 5-6-14 of this chapter shall be required. The filing of any false statement sworn to as herein required shall be grounds for suspension or revocation of license. If the premises, licensed as a restaurant under this chapter, subsequently ceases to meet the qualification of a restaurant, the restrictions contained in section 5-6-12 of this chapter shall apply and the posting of signs as provided for in section 5-6-14 of this chapter shall be required. In such event the licensee shall advise the Chief of Police, by mail, that his premises no longer constitute a restaurant, so that the certificate of endorsement may be recalled. (Ord. 778, 2-11-2014)
