Current through Register Vol. 39, No. 2, July 15, 2024
(a) No
				  permit for the possession, sale, or consumption of alcoholic beverages shall be
				  issued to any establishment when there are living quarters in or connected to
				  the premises being permitted, and no permittee shall establish or maintain
				  living quarters in or connected to the permittee's licensed premises.
(b) No permit for the on-premises possession,
				  sale, or consumption of alcoholic beverages shall be issued to any
				  establishment unless there are two restrooms in working order on the premises.
				  The Commission shall waive the two-restroom requirement upon a showing by the
				  permittee that it is not possible to have a second restroom in the existing
				  premises due to building restrictions under historical preservation or zoning
				  laws, or building or fire codes.
(c) In determining the areas where alcoholic
				  beverages may be sold and consumed, the Commission shall consider the
				  convenience of the permittee and patrons, allowing the maximum use of the
				  premises consistent with the control of the sale and consumption of alcoholic
				  beverages. Consumption shall not be allowed in areas open to the general public
				  other than patrons. To be approved, any premises shall have delineated vertical
				  boundaries that the consumer would recognize as indicating the boundaries that
				  physically separate areas where consumption is allowed from areas open to the
				  general public other than patrons.
(d) The sale and delivery of alcoholic
				  beverages by permitted retail outlets located on fairgrounds, golf courses,
				  ball parks, race tracks, and other similar public places are restricted to an
				  enclosed establishment in a designated place. No alcoholic beverages shall be
				  sold, served, or delivered by these outlets outside the enclosed establishment,
				  nor in grandstands, stadiums, or bleachers at public gatherings, except as
				  provided in Paragraph (g) of this Rule. As used in this Paragraph, the term
				  "enclosed establishment" includes a temporary structure or structures
				  constructed and used for the purpose of dispensing food and beverages at events
				  to be held on fairgrounds, golf courses, ball parks, race tracks, and other
				  similar places. Sales of alcoholic beverages may be made in box seats only
				  under the following conditions:
(1) table
				  service of food and non-alcoholic beverages are available to patrons in box
				  seats;
(2) no alcoholic beverages
				  are delivered to the box seats area until after orders have been taken;
				  and
(3) box seat areas have been
				  designated as part of the permittee's premises on a diagram submitted by the
				  permittee, and the Commission has granted written approval of alcoholic
				  beverage sales in these seating areas.
