BILL NUMBER:S5829
Title of bill
An act to amend the alcoholic beverage control law, in relation to authorizing the liquor authority to issue certain licenses to manufacture and sell alcoholic beverages in a premises commonly known as a restaurant-brewer
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill amends the Alcohol Beverage Control law, allowing issuance of a retail license for on premises consumption of alcohol at 338 Ellicott St., 437 Ellicott St., 90 Pearl St., and 326 to 330 Amherst St., all in Buffalo, NY.
Summary of specific provisions
Subdivision 10 of section 64-c of the alcoholic beverage control law, as added by chapter 538 of the laws of 1997, is amended to add a section (a) that reads; except as provided in subdivisions seven, eight, nine, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and sixteen of this section, no person licensed under this section may be interested directly or indirectly in any other premises in this state where alcoholic beverages are manufactured of sold. Any person who has an interest in premises eligible for conversion under subdivision nine of this section shall not be issued any license under this section unless and until a conversion application has been filed with and approved by the authority.
Justification
In most developing urban downtowns like Buffalo the first thing to arrive in terms of that new development is housing. There is well over 2000 people living in downtown Buffalo and the next phase of development will be the establishment of new small restaurants. There are several properties in downtown Buffalo expected to open new restaurants in the next 12 months. This legislation would allow a business owner with an existing restaurant brewery to open up new restaurants downtown thereby developing currently vacant property creating jobs, and attracting thousands of new customers to these new locations once they are established.
