(A) The following shall be grounds for denying the issuance or renewal of a license under this chapter; however, except as may otherwise be provided by law, the existence of any particular ground for denial does not mean that the city must deny the license:
(1) The applicant is under 21 years of age;
(2) The applicant has been convicted within the past five years of any violation of a federal, state or local law, ordinance provision or other regulation relating to licensed products;
(3) The applicant has had a license to sell licensed products suspended or revoked within the preceding 12 months of the date of application;
(4) The applicant fails to display or present licensed products in a manner that is consistent with federal regulation, state law or this chapter; and
(5) The applicant fails to store licensed products behind a counter or other area not freely accessible to customers or in a case or other storage unit not left open and accessible to the general public.
(B) If a license is mistakenly issued or renewed to a person, it shall be revoked upon the discovery that the person was ineligible for a license under this chapter. The city will provide the license holder with notice of the revocation, along with information on the right to appeal.
