 AN ACT to establish a demonstration program  authorizing  the  community
   board for community board district 12 in the city of New York to apply
   to the state liquor authority for the establishment of an up to 1 year
   moratorium  during  which  no licenses for sale of alcoholic beverages
   for on-premises consumption shall be issued to certain premises within
   certain areas of such district; and providing for the repeal  of  such
   provisions upon expiration thereof
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds  that  the
 increasingly  high  concentration  of  bars  located  within portions of
 community board district 12, in the borough of Manhattan and city of New
 York, an area north of 155th Street in such  borough,  and  the  rapidly
 increasing  number  of  such establishments being located in portions of
 such district that are near residential and other  non-commercial  areas
 is  detrimental  to  the  quality of life of residents of that district.
 Further, that the establishment of such bars has substantially increased
 the incidence of violent crime, personal injuries, the level of property
 damage and vandalism, reduced quality of life within the community,  and
 created a shortage of parking for local residents.
   Therefore  the  legislature  determines  that  the  establishment of a
 demonstration program authorizing  the  community  board  for  community
 board  district  12 of the city of New York to petition the state liquor
 authority to temporarily deny the issuance of new licenses for the  sale
 of  alcoholic  beverages for on-premises consumption to certain premises
 located in select areas that have a high and over concentration of simi-
 lar premises in such district. Furthermore, the  establishment  of  such
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
