§ 111.022. Location.
A.
No license shall be granted to a billiard or poolroom or an arcade that will conduct its business at a location that is within five hundred 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. However, any duly issued license for a billiard or poolroom or an arcade in force as of the effective date of this section will be continued from year to year upon payment to the License Clerk of the annual license fee and compliance with the other sections of this article. However, any change in ownership of the billiard or arcade or change in location will remove the billiard or poolroom or arcade from this exception. "Change in ownership" in the case of a partnership or corporation for the purpose of this section means more than a fifty percent change in partners or shareholders from the partners or shareholders owning the partnership or corporation as of the effective date of this section.
