N.Y. Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law § 322: Approval of plans of corporation or association

§ 322. Approval of plans of corporation or association. The commission

shall not grant to a corporation or association hereafter formed

pursuant to sections two hundred twenty-two through seven hundred five

of this chapter, a license to conduct a harness race meeting at which

pari-mutuel betting may be conducted within the state until such

corporation or association shall have submitted to the commission a

statement of the location of its proposed grounds and racetrack,

together with a plan of such racetrack, and plans of all buildings,

seating stands and other structures in such form as the commission may

prescribe, and such plans shall have been approved in writing by the

commission. Such plans shall show that its paddock and barn areas can

accommodate and serve the needs of horses and horse trainers that

participate in live racing at such facility. Alterations or

discontinuance of existing buildings, seating stands and other

structures, and the erection of new or additional buildings, seating

stands or other structures may be made only with the prior written

approval of the commission and after examination and inspection of the

plans thereof and the issuance of a permit therefor by the commission.

The commission at the expense of the applicant may order such

engineering examination thereof as the commission may deem necessary.

The approval of the certificate of incorporation of such corporation or

association shall not be deemed to vest in it the right to a license to

conduct harness race meetings at such race course or racetrack unless

such grounds, track, buildings, seating stands and other structures

shall be completed in accordance with the plans approved by the

commission.
