(a) Limitation on Location. No license shall be granted to an entertainment device arcade that will conduct its business at a location that is within 500 feet from the boundaries of a parcel of real estate having situated on it a school, public library, public playground, or any establishment that has been issued a liquor permit by the State of Ohio.
(b) Exception; Change in Ownership. This section shall not apply to any entertainment device arcade locations in existence at the time of the passage of this chapter, and shall not apply to any duly licensed entertainment device arcade locations in existence at the time a school, public library, public playground, or any establishment that has been issued a liquor permit by the State of Ohio moves within 500 feet of said entertainment device arcade.
