that
holds the financial interest, the C or D permit holder also
sells other competing brands of alcoholic beverages produced by
other
manufacturers, no preference is given to the products of the
manufacturer, and
there is
no exclusion, in whole or in part, of
products sold or offered for sale by
other manufacturers,
suppliers, or importers of alcoholic beverages that
constitutes a
substantial impairment of commerce. (D) The primary purpose of the C or D permit
premises is a
purpose other than to sell alcoholic beverages, and the sale of

at least fifty rooms for
registered transient
guests or is owned by a state institution of higher education as defined in section 3345.011 of the Revised Code or a private college or university,
and that
qualifies under the other requirements of this
section,
or to the
owner or operator of a restaurant specified under this
section, to
sell beer and any intoxicating liquor at retail, only
by the
individual drink in glass and from the container, for
consumption
on the premises where sold, and to registered guests
in their
rooms, which may be sold by means of a controlled access
alcohol
and beverage cabinet in accordance with division (B) of
section
4301.21 of the Revised Code; and to sell the same
products in the
same manner and amounts not for consumption on
the premises as may

The premises of the
hotel or motel shall include a
retail food
establishment or a
food service operation
licensed
pursuant to
Chapter 3717. of the
Revised Code
that operates
as a restaurant for purposes of this
chapter and that
is
affiliated with the hotel or motel and within
or contiguous to
the
hotel or motel, and that serves food within
the
hotel or motel,
but
the principal business of the owner or
operator of the hotel
or
motel shall be the accommodation of
transient guests. In
addition to the privileges authorized in
this division,
the holder
of a
D-5a permit may exercise the same
privileges as the holder of
a
D-5 permit. The owner or operator of a hotel, motel, or restaurant who
qualified for and
held a D-5a permit on
August 4, 1976, may, if
the owner or operator held another
permit before holding a D-5a
permit, either retain a D-5a permit or apply for
the permit
formerly held, and the division of liquor
control shall issue the
permit for which the owner or operator
applies and formerly held,
notwithstanding any quota. A D-5a permit shall not be
transferred to another location.
No quota restriction shall be
placed on the number of D-5a permits
that may be issued. The fee for this permit is two
thousand three hundred
forty-four dollars. (B) Permit D-5b may be issued to
the owner, operator,
tenant, lessee, or occupant of an enclosed
shopping center to sell
beer and intoxicating liquor at retail,
only by the individual
drink in glass and from the container, for
consumption on the
premises where sold; and to sell the same
products in the same
manner and amount not for consumption on the
premises as may be
sold by holders of D-1 and D-2 permits. In
addition to the
privileges authorized in this division,
the holder
of a D-5b
permit may exercise the same privileges as a holder of
a D-5
permit. A D-5b permit shall not be
transferred to another location. One D-5b permit may be issued at
an enclosed shopping center
containing at least two hundred
twenty-five thousand, but less
than four hundred thousand, square
feet of floor area. Two D-5b permits may be issued at
an enclosed shopping center
containing at least four hundred
thousand square feet of floor
area. No more than one D-5b permit
may be issued at an enclosed
shopping center for each additional
two hundred thousand square
feet of floor area or fraction
of that floor area, up to a
maximum of five D-5b permits
for each enclosed
shopping center.
The number of D-5b permits that may be issued
at an enclosed
shopping center shall be determined by subtracting
the number of
D-3 and D-5 permits issued in the enclosed shopping
center from
the number of D-5b permits that otherwise may be
issued at the
enclosed shopping center under the formulas
provided in this
division. Except as provided in this section,
no quota shall be
placed on the number of D-5b permits that may
be issued.
Notwithstanding any quota provided in this section,
the holder of
any D-5b permit first issued in accordance with
this section is
entitled to its renewal in accordance with
section 4303.271 of the
Revised Code. The holder of a D-5b permit
issued before April 4, 1984,
whose tenancy is terminated for a
cause other than nonpayment of
rent, may return the D-5b
permit
to the division of liquor
control, and the
division shall
cancel that permit. Upon
cancellation of that permit and upon
the permit holder's payment
of taxes, contributions, premiums,
assessments, and other debts
owing or accrued upon the date of
cancellation to this state and
its political subdivisions and a
filing with the division of a
certification
of that payment, the division shall issue to that
person
either a D-5
permit, or a D-1, a D-2, and a D-3 permit, as
that person
requests. The division shall issue the D-5 permit,
or
the D-1,
D-2, and D-3 permits, even if the number of D-1, D-2,
D-3, or D-5
permits currently issued in the municipal corporation
or in the
unincorporated area of the township where that person's
proposed
premises is located equals or exceeds the maximum number
of such
permits that can be issued in that municipal corporation
or in
the unincorporated area of that township under the
population
quota restrictions contained in section 4303.29 of the
Revised
Code. Any D-1, D-2, D-3, or D-5 permit so issued shall
not
be transferred to another location. If a D-5b permit is
canceled
under the provisions of this paragraph, the number of
D-5b
permits that may be issued at the enclosed shopping center
for
which the D-5b permit was issued, under the formula provided
in
this division, shall be reduced by one if the enclosed shopping
center was entitled to more than one D-5b permit under the
formula. The fee for this permit is two
thousand three hundred
forty-four dollars. (C) Permit D-5c may be issued
to the owner or
operator of a
retail food establishment or a
food service operation licensed

the other
requirements of this section to sell beer and any
intoxicating
liquor at retail, only by the individual drink in
glass and from
the container, for consumption on the premises
where sold, and to

amounts not for
consumption on the premises as may be sold by

D-2 permits. In addition to the privileges
authorized in this
division, the holder of a D-5c permit
may
exercise the
same
privileges as the holder of a D-5 permit. To qualify for a D-5c permit, the
