Editor's Note: N.J.S.A. 33:1-12.14 provides that no new
plenary or seasonal retail consumption license shall be issued until
the combined total number of such licenses is fewer than one for each
3,000 of the municipality's population according to the most
recent estimates issued by the U.S. Bureau of the Census; provided,
however, in the year that the official federal decennial counts are
received by the Governor, those federal decennial counts shall be
used. No new plenary retail distribution license shall be issued until
the combined total number of such licenses is fewer than one for each
7,500 of the municipality's population according to the most
recent estimates issued by the U.S. Bureau of the Census; provided,
however, in the year that the official federal decennial counts are
received by the Governor, those federal decennial counts shall be
used. This does not affect existing licenses but will become operative
if any licenses are abandoned or revoked.
No limited retail distribution license and no seasonal retail
consumption license shall be granted within the Borough of Edgewater.
[Amended 9-20-2010 by Ord. No. 1439-2010]
