No person shall establish or maintain a gasoline station in the City without first obtaining a license therefor as provided in this chapter. No such license shall be issued until it is approved by the City Commission. The fee for such license shall be as set forth in the schedule provided for in Section 802.24.
(1975 Code Sec. 7.142)
The application for a license shall be addressed to the City Commission and filed with the City Clerk and shall state the location of the proposed gasoline station and the capacity of the tanks to be used and shall also state in detail the plans and specifications of the proposed structure to be used in connection with such gasoline station, which shall in all respects conform to these Codified Ordinances. The plans and specifications and the location of such gasoline station shall be subject to the approval of the City Commission. Such approval shall be withheld by the City Commission and no license granted if the City Commission finds that such gasoline station is dangerous or detrimental to the public safety and welfare because of traffic congestion or conditions or is otherwise unsafe because of its proximity to any hospital, sanitarium, school, church or theater or because it is located in such a place that traffic conditions or fire or explosion hazards imperil the public safety. No such license or permit shall be granted for a gasoline station in any location where the same would be restricted or prohibited under the Zoning Code.
(1975 Code Sec. 7.143)
The City Commission may prescribe reasonable conditions under which any license is granted. If such conditions are imposed by the City Commission, the licensee shall, before such license is granted, sign and execute an agreement, to be filed with the City Clerk, agreeing to abide by and comply with all such conditions. No advertising sign constructed of wood or any inflammable material, or of such dimensions as to obstruct the view of traffic, or which in any way hinders access to a gasoline station from all directions by the Fire Department, shall be constructed or allowed to exist on any premises used as a gasoline station.
(1975 Code Sec. 7.144)
No person shall establish, install or operate any gasoline station or any tank for use in connection therewith, nor shall any person sell or offer for sale any gasoline from any such station or tank, at any place on Michigan Avenue between Division Street and Tompkins Street or on Capital Avenue between Van Buren Street and Liberty Street.
(1975 Code Sec. 7.145)
