The following locations shall be ineligible for a license under this Division I.
(a) Taxes due on property. No license shall be granted or renewed for operation on any property on which taxes, assessments or other financial claims of the state, county, school district or city are past due, delinquent or unpaid. In the event a suit has been commenced under M.S. §§ 278.01 through 278.13, as they may be amended from time to time, questioning the amount or validity of taxes, the City Council may, upon application, waive strict compliance with this provision; no waiver may be granted, however, for taxes or any portion thereof which remain unpaid for a period exceeding one year beyond becoming due.
(b) Improper zoning. No license shall be granted if the property is not properly zoned for self-service laundries, launderettes and laundromats under Chapter 19 or 21 of this code unless the business is a legal nonconforming use.
