    "(A)    The department shall not grant or issue any license provided for in this article or Article 7 of this chapter, if the place of business is within three hundred feet of any church, school, child daycare facility, or playground situated within a municipality or within five hundred feet of any church, school, child daycare facility, or playground situated outside of a municipality. Such distance shall must be computed by following the shortest route of ordinary and legal pedestrian or vehicular travel along the public thoroughfare from the nearest point of the grounds in use as part of such church, school, child daycare facility, or playground, which, as used herein in this section, shall be is defined as follows:
