No owner or operator of a place of public accommodation, located in the County, or the agent of any owner or operator of such place of public accommodation, shall deny to any person any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges, of such a place of public accommodation because of discrimination; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall be construed or interpreted to prohibit any owner or operator of any such establishment, or any agent or employee thereof, from the right to deny service to any person for failure to conform to the usual and regular requirements, standards and regulations for such establishment so long as the denial is not based upon discrimination as defined in Section 2-186; and provided further, however, that discrimination based on a person's disability as defined in Section 2-186 shall not be wrongful with regard to the failure of any owner or operator of any such establishment, or any agent or employee thereof, to fail or refuse to renovate, alter or modify any such establishment in order to accommodate any person with a disability, as defined herein, except as otherwise required by the Building Code for Prince George's County, Maryland.
