A. The Chief may revoke or suspend any permit issued pursuant to this chapter:
1. For any cause which would be grounds for denial of a permit;
2. Upon a finding that any violation of the provisions of this chapter, federal, state or other local law has been committed and the violation is connected with the operation of the permitted business location so that the person in charge of the business location knew, or should reasonably have known, that such violations or offenses were permitted to occur at the location by the dealer or any principal or employee engaged or employed in the management or operation of the business location;
3. If lawful inspection has been refused;
4. If the secondhand dealer's activities cause significant litter, noise, vandalism, vehicular or pedestrian traffic congestion or other locational problems in the area around the dealer's premises;
5. If a fine assessed under this chapter has not been paid to the City of Canby or appealed within 10 days after the date of delivery of a citation;
6. If any statement contained in the application for the permit is found to have been false; or
7. If any secondhand dealer fails to meet federal or state licensing requirements.
B. The Chief shall give the permittee written notice of proposed revocation or suspension of any permit issued pursuant to this chapter by causing notice to be served upon the permit holder at the address listed on the permit application. Service of the notice shall be accomplished by personal service, mailing the notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by service in the same manner as a summons served in an action at law. Refusal of the service by the person whose permit is revoked or suspended shall be prima facie evidence of receipt of the notice. Service of the notice upon the person in charge of a business, during its hours of operation shall constitute prima facie evidence of notice to the person holding the permit to operate the business.
C. Revocation or suspension shall be effective and final 10 days after the giving of such notice unless such revocation or suspension is appealed in accordance with § 5.06.140.
