(A) Each license issued to a licensee shall expire one year from the date it is issued, unless it is renewed upon application of the licensee accompanied by payment of a renewal fee of $1,000. Such application and application fee shall be submitted by the licensee to the City Clerk at least 30 days before the expiration date of the license but not more than 90 days before. Provided the application is filed within such time and the renewal fee paid, the Mayor shall, prior to the expiration of the previous license, renew the license for the same licensee at the same location for an additional one year, unless the random inspection reports in the licensee's file reveal uncorrected violations of this chapter or uncorrected violations of any fire, building, health or zoning codes or regulations, of which the licensee has received written notice, or any condition under § 122.05(D), that could have been grounds for denial of the original application has since become true. If renewed, the Mayor shall mail the renewed license to the licensee prior to the expiration date of the previous license. If not renewed, the Mayor shall mail a notice of nonrenewal to the licensee by certified mail, return receipt requested, prior to the expiration date of the previous license, stating the reasons for such nonrenewal. No sexually oriented business shall continue operations without a renewed license.
(B) If there are uncorrected violations of this chapter or uncorrected violations of any fire, building, health or zoning codes or regulations, of which the licensee has received written notice, the license renewal shall be delayed for a maximum of 30 days beyond the original expiration date in order for all corrections to be completed and inspections done to determine compliance. If the licensee does not make such corrections of violations within such 30 days, no license renewal shall be issued. The Mayor shall mail a notice of nonrenewal to the licensee by certified mail, return receipt requested, within five days after the extended 30-day period, stating the reasons for such nonrenewal.
(C) Notwithstanding the provisions in division (B) of this section, in no instance shall a renewal be issued to a licensee who, within the one-year period of the previous license has had two or more material violations of this chapter to which the licensee has received written notice, or has had one or more uncorrected material violations of this chapter pending for over 30 days.
(D) Should a license not be renewed for any violation of this chapter, no license shall issue for the same licensee for five years from the expiration of the previous license.
