[Adopted 6-23-2009 by Ord. No. MC-4473 (Ch. 129, Art. V, of the 1987 Code)]
No establishment licensed for the sale of alcoholic beverages shall contain an entrance or exit that directly connects to another business premises which is not part of the area described in the license application.
The City of Camden Municipal Board of Alcoholic Beverage Control may grant exceptions to this restriction to hotels, supermarkets or other business establishments where after a hearing it determines that the connection to an adjoining business establishment will not impair the ability of law enforcement to regulate the licensed establishment and that the interconnection of the two businesses will not create potential for circumstances and events that would be contrary to the provisions and intent of the laws and regulations governing establishments licensed to sell or dispense alcoholic beverages.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to affect or alter any zoning regulations or any provision of the Fire Code or the Property Maintenance Code.[1] To the extent that, on the effective date of this article, any licensed establishment provides a second means of egress required by the Fire Code through an adjacent business, and this means of egress cannot be replaced without significant cost, the establishment may continue to use the means of egress.
