On all new applications for a restaurant permit or for a café permit where the café is to consist of more than one public room the department shall require either effective separation of the dining room, or lounge from the barroom or an agreement to the effect that the use of the bar on the premises will be confined to a service bar only, in an area wherein patrons are not allowed to produce or obtain drinks in said service bar. Nothing in this section shall prohibit a permittee from lawfully operating both a barroom and a service bar. During the department's review of restaurant permit and café permit applications, or upon request by any active restaurant or café permittee, the applicant may request and the department may grant, for good cause shown, an exception to the effective separation requirement.
