   (A)   The Mayor shall revoke a license if a cause of suspension in § 13-15-10 occurs and the license has been suspended within the preceding 12 months.

   (B)   The Mayor shall revoke a license if the Mayor determines one or more of the following has occurred:

      (1)   A licensee gave false or misleading information in the material submitted to the Mayor during the application process;

      (2)   A licensee or an operator has knowingly allowed possession, use, or sale of controlled substances on the premises;

      (3)   A licensee or an operator has knowingly allowed prostitution on the premises;

      (4)   A licensee or an operator knowingly operated the sexually oriented business during a period of time when the licensee's license was suspended;

      (5)   A licensee or designated operator has been convicted of an offense listed in § 13-15-5(A)(8) for which the time period required in § 13-15-5(A)(9) has not elapsed.

      (6)   On two or more occasions within a 12- month period, a person or persons committed an offense occurring in or on the sexually oriented business premises of a crime listed in § 13-15-5(A)(8) for which a conviction has been obtained, and the person or persons were employees of the licensee or the sexually oriented business at the time the offenses were committed.

      (7)   A licensee or an operator has knowingly allowed any act of sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation or masturbation to occur in or on the sexually oriented business premises.

      (8)   A licensee or an operator has violated § 13-15-17.

   (C)   The fact that a conviction is being appealed has no effect on the revocation of the license.

   (D)   When the Mayor revokes a license, the revocation will continue for one year, and the licensee, for one year after the date the revocation becomes effective, shall not be issued a sexually oriented business license for the same location for which the license was revoked. If, subsequent to revocation, the Mayor finds that the basis for the revocation has been corrected or abated, the applicant may apply for and be granted a license if at least 90 days have elapsed since the date the revocation became effective. If the license was revoked under § 13-15-11(B)(5), an applicant may not apply for or be granted another license until the appropriate number of years required under § 13-15-5(A)(9) has elapsed.
