In the case of a business establishment which, as a regular part of its business either acts as entrepreneur or provides facilities to the entrepreneur of large assemblies, entertainment events, amusement events, or social events for which an admission charge is collected, the owner may, upon application to the City Council, be granted an annual license. Such an annual license shall be considered, issued, and used within the following conditions, restrictions, and guidelines:
A. An annual license of this type shall be available only under Article II of this chapter, and Article III is specifically excluded from the provision for an annual license.
B. All of the provisions of Article I and of Article II shall apply to annual licenses, except where special provisions are made in this Section.
C. For the issuance of an annual license, § 4-204.A is modified: the application must be submitted to the Zoning Administrator at least forty-five (45) days prior to the date upon which the applicant intends to conduct the first scheduled event.
D. For the issuance of an annual license, § 4-205.C is modified: the application must also state the predicted number of events and the predicted dates of the events which the applicant expects to conduct during the term of the annual license. It is recommended that applicants include all of the possible and foreseeable events in the application since the use of the annual license will be restricted to the number and kinds of events listed in the application. The holder of an annual license may not use the license to conduct an event which was not contemplated by the annual license application, but rather must seek an additional one-time event license. Each predicted event contemplated by the annual license application should be presented in the application as a sub-part, including all of the information required by § 4-205 and § 4-206 for each predicted event.
E. For the issuance of an annual license, § 4-203 is modified: the licensee under an annual license shall, at the time the annual license is issued by the City Clerk, pay the total of $20.00 per day for each day of all the events predicted and licensed by the annual license. No part of the annual license is refundable, even if the predicted events are not conducted.
F. At the time the annual license is issued by the City Clerk, the applicant shall deposit with the Zoning Administrator a current certificate of insurance or a duplicate original insurance policy which insurance must comply with the provisions of § 4-208. The insurance certificate or policy must state that the duration of the coverage extends to the date after the last day of the last event predicted and licensed in the annual license.
G. The holder of an annual license may delay the cash deposit required by § 4-209 until the last Wednesday preceding the date of a scheduled event.
H. If the holder of an annual license wishes to use a temporary structure, as contemplated by § 4-206, the license holder must coordinate a construction and inspection schedule for each temporary structure with the building inspector. It is the license holder’s responsibility to coordinate this schedule with the building inspector and to pay the appropriate inspection fees as set forth in the building code. Failure to pay the inspection fees or failure to obtain a timely inspection shall not necessarily invalidate the event license but shall prohibit the licensee’s use of the temporary structure.
