(A) The City Clerk shall advertise in the local newspaper that an application has been made for the operation of a place of amusement in the city and, in general terms, the type of activity to be conducted, the name of the applicant and the proposed site, and that the City Council shall hold a public hearing to determine if a license should be issued. The notice shall be published not more than ten days and not less than three days prior to the hearing, and the notice shall state the time and place of the hearing.
(B) Before granting a license, the City Council shall hold a public hearing to determine:
(1) If all applicable health, welfare and safety laws will be met and that the risk of fire is not substantially increased;
(2) If the proposed location is one which will not cause unreasonable traffic congestion, nor disturb the peace of residential neighborhoods; and
(3) If the proposed applicant is of good moral character and can be reasonably expected to cooperate in the enforcement of law and will operate the business so as not to be a common law nuisance.
