N.Y. Racing, Pari-Mutuel Wagering and Breeding Law § 421: Approval of plans of corporation or association

§ 421. 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 quarter horse 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. Alterations 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 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 quarter

horse 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.
