BILL NUMBER: S6383

SPONSOR: BENJAMIN
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in
relation to a license to sell liquor at retail for consumption on
certain premises

 
PURPOSE:

This bill will authorize the issuing of a retail liquor license to a
business in the County of New York that is within a two hundred foot
proximity of a religious institution.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Subdivision 7 of section64 of the alcoholic beverage control
law is amended by adding a new paragraph (e-11) to authorize the issuing
of a retail license for on-premises consumption for a premises which
shall be located within two hundred feet of a building occupied as a
church, synagogue or other place of worship, provided such premises
constitute a premises for the sale of a food or beverages at a retail

for consumption on the premises located wholly within the County of New
York.

 
EXISTING LAW:

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Princi, located at 1633 Broadway, is an Italian bakery serving break-
fast, lunch and dinner. The bakery is currently licensed to sell beer
and wine on premises, as has done so since opening late last year. In
that time, Princi has proven itself to be a responsible and valuable
addition to the Times Square business community. The business closes at
10:00 on weeknights, 11:00 pm on Fridays and midnight on Saturday; these
closing times are similar to or earlier than other business in the imme-
diate vicinity. There are thirty-seven (37) other licensed premises
within 500 feet of the proposed establishment, which are comprised of
bars, restaurants, theatres and five (5) hotels. Princi is a specialty
Italian bakery and a Starbucks coffeehouse focusing on the Starbucks
Reserve coffees. It offers a far different atmosphere than all of the
other thirty-seven (37) licensed premises and will meet an untapped need
of the local community.  It currently employs approximately fifteen (15)
individuals at the premises, supporting job opportunities in the local
area.
