A. No plenary retail consumption or distribution licensee

pursuant to N.J.A.C. 13:2-23.13 and a copy delivered to the Municipal
Board of Alcoholic Beverage Control in the manner described herein.
B. At the time of the issuance or renewal of a plenary
retail consumption or distribution license, the licensee shall deliver
to the Municipal Board of Alcoholic Beverage Control a completed E-141-A
form listing all persons employed on the licensed premises pursuant
to N.J.A.C. 13:2-23.13. The licensee shall thereafter notify the Municipal
Board of Alcoholic Beverage Control, in writing, of any additions

school house.
B. The Municipal Board of Alcoholic Beverage Control
may, in its reasonable discretion, waive the above restriction if
the applicant shall establish to the Board's satisfaction that such
waiver will not adversely affect on the surrounding area and the public
health, safety and welfare. When reviewing an application for a waiver,
the Board shall consider and make findings with respect to each of
the following:
(1) Whether the location of an additional facility in
an area will have an adverse impact on adjacent residential areas;
(2) Whether the proposed location is an area where patrons
of licensed facilities tend to congregate and/or consume alcoholic
beverages on the adjacent streets, sidewalks and properties and whether
the proposed facility is of such a type that it may be expected that
its patrons may engage in similar inappropriate behavior;
(3) The location of any premises licensed for plenary
retail distribution in proximity to the proposed facility;
(4) Whether the proposed facility and existing licensed
facilities are predominantly designed for use as a tavern, restaurant,
hotel or entertainment facility;
(5) Whether there is any dominant commercial or recreational
theme in the area that would be enhanced by the presence of the proposed
facility;
(6) Whether the proposed facility would enhance or facilitate
a redevelopment project; and
(7) Any factors which the Board deems critical to its
decision to grant or deny an application for waiver.
Any person who violates any provisions of this
article shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not
exceeding $500 or by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 90 days,
or both. A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day
during or on which a violation occurs or continues.
