A. No license shall be issued for the sale at retail of any alcoholic liquor within one hundred feet (100') of any church, school (other than an institution of higher learning), hospital, home for 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 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 effective date hereof; nor to the renewal of a license for the sale at retail of alcoholic liquor on premises within one hundred feet (100') of any church or school where such church or school has been established within such one hundred feet (100') since the issuance of the original license. In the case of a church, the distance of one hundred feet (100') shall be measured to the nearest part of any building used for worship services or education programs and not to property boundaries.
B. Nothing in this section shall prohibit the issuance of a license to a church or private school to sell at retail alcoholic liquor if any such sales are limited to periods when groups are assembled on the premises solely for the promotion of some common object other than the sale or consumption of alcoholic liquors.
