ISSUANCE OF AVAILABLE LICENSES. As to classes of license for which a maximum authorized number has been established, but where the number of licenses does not automatically decrease, if it should occur that less than such number are issued, applications may be received for the issuance of the available license or licenses. If, after 30 days from the date such a license has become available, no qualified application has been received such license shall be issued responsive to the first qualified application received after such 30-day period. If during said 30-day period, more qualified applications are received than the number of licenses available, the Local Liquor Control Commissioner shall by lot select the application for which a license shall be issued. Applications made pursuant to the provisions of this section may be supported by agreements, undertakings or other reasonable evidence of an ability and willingness to satisfy physical and possessory requirements as to the premises proposed to be licensed, in lieu of evidence of ownership or possessory interest, building and fire code compliance and the like. Any person, firm, or corporation which has been successful in acquiring a liquor license by lot shall be prohibited from entering any subsequent lottery for a period of three years from the issuance of such license. If additional numbers of any class or classes of license are authorized by the Council for the purpose of issuing such licenses to owners of newly-annexed properties previously licensed by another jurisdiction, the provisions hereof shall not apply to such newly- authorized but unissued licenses.
