the licensee shall comply with the food sale requirements
of § 2 (p) of this article only for the purpose of
meeting the requirements of § 19 (f—2) of this article

19.

(h—1) In Montgomery County such a license shall be
issued by the clerk, upon the advice and approval of the
board of license commissioners, only to the owner of any
restaurant or hotel, having a minimum dining area of
1,000 square feet located in the third, fourth, seventh,
eighth, ninth, tenth, or thirteenth election districts of
said county except in the towns of Poolesville, Takoma
Park and Kensington. As a prerequisite for the initial
issuance of a license under this subsection, the owner
must attest in a sworn statement that gross receipts from
food sales in the restaurant or hotel will be in excess
of two times the gross receipts from the sale of
alcoholic beverages. As a prerequisite for each renewal
of a license issued under this subsection, the owner must
attest in a sworn statement that the gross receipts from
food sales in the restaurant or hotel for the
twelve—month period immediately preceding the application
for renewal have been in excess of two times the gross
receipts from the sale of alcoholic beverages. The board
of license commissioners shall by rule and regulation
provide for periodic inspection of the premises and for
audits to determine the ratio of gross receipts from the
sale of food to gross receipts from the sale of alcoholic
beverages. Any rules and regulations adopted by the
board as aforesaid shall include a requirement of (1) at
least monthly physical inspections of the premises during
the initial license year of any licensee and (2) the
submission by the licensee to the board, during the
initial license year aforesaid, of monthly statements
showing gross receipts from the sale of food and gross
receipts from the sale of alcoholic beverages for the
immediately preceding month. In the event that a
licensee hereunder, during the initial license year,
shall fail to maintain gross receipts from the sale of
food at least twice those from the sale of alcoholic
beverages for a period of three consecutive months or
after the initial license year for each license or
calendar year, the board, in its discretion, may revoke
the license. The board shall have the authority to
require any licensee to provide such supporting data as
