    (b)    The license may be issued only to the holder of:

        (1)    a Class B beer, wine, and liquor (on–sale) license that is issued for use on the premises of a restaurant located in the City; or

        (2)    a Class D alcoholic beverages license that is issued for use on the premises of the existing Class D license located in the 40th alcoholic beverages district of the City.

    (c)    (1)    Subject to paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) of this subsection, the holder of a Class 7 micro–brewery license may:

        (2)    The holder of a Class 7 micro–brewery license may brew in two locations using the same Class 7 micro–brewery license if the license holder:

            (i)    requests permission by submitting a written application to the Executive Director; and

            (ii)    obtains written approval from the Executive Director.

        (3)    Before authorizing a holder of a Class 7 micro–brewery license to brew in two locations using the same Class 7 micro–brewery license, the Executive Director shall:

            (i)    make a determination that a second location to brew additional capacity is necessary due to insufficient space at the existing Class 7 license location; and

            (ii)    consider any other factor relevant to approval of the application.

        (4)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, a holder of a Class 7 micro–brewery license may not serve or sell beer for on– or off–premises consumption at the second brewing location authorized under this subsection.
