Each license shall expire one year from the date of issuance and may be renewed only by making application upon penalty of perjury that there has been no material change in the business or its operation. Applications for renewal shall be filed at least 30 days before the expiration date; the application for renewal shall not extend the license beyond the expiration date. The city manager, or designee thereof, shall issue the license or deny the application for renewal within ten days of the receipt of a completed application. The city manager shall base the decision to renew on the same factors as the issuance of the original license. If in reviewing the application for renewal of the license, the city manager, or designee thereof, determines that the application will likely be denied, then the city manager, or designee thereof, shall cause an administrative hearing to be held within the same ten-day period at which time the applicant may present evidence supporting the application or contradicting the evidence presented by the city. The decision of the city manager, or designee thereof, to deny renewal of the license shall be subject to appeal to the City Council by following the same procedures as set forth in § 5.08.040(E) of this chapter.
