§ 5.107.06. Permit Duration and Renewal.  


Latest version.
  • (a) The duration of any massage business permit issued shall be one (1) year.
    (b) Applications to renew a permit shall be filed with the Chief before the expiration of the existing permit along with the filing fee established by the City Council. Renewal applications must be filed no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the permit to prevent a lapse of the permit.
    (c) Renewal applications shall require such information as may be required by the Chief to update the information contained in the original permit application.
    (d) The lapsing or suspension of any permits issued hereunder, whether by operation of law or by order or decision, or the voluntary surrender of a permit by an operator, shall not deprive the City of the ability to proceed with any investigation of or action or disciplinary proceeding against such permit or operator, or to render a decision suspending or revoking such a permit.
    (e) The Chief may, in his or her sole discretion, conduct a follow- up investigation similar to the initial investigation described in section 5.107.05(a) as a condition precedent to approving an application for permit renewal. The Chief will notify the applicant of the initiation of such an investigation within ten (10) business days of applicant’s submission of its renewal application.
    (f) The Chief may refuse to renew a permit if he or she makes any of the findings for denial of a permit in section 5.107.05(a) above, if the operator or any person employed by the business has violated any provision of this Article, or upon a demonstrated inability to operate or manage the massage business in a law abiding manner. In such an event, the City will first issue a Notice of Intent to Refuse to Renew Permit, which will contain substantially the same information as set forth in section 5.107.05(b) above. (Ord. No. 1234, § 3.)
