(A) Revocation and suspension of massage establishment permits and home occupation massage permits.
(1) The Chief of Police may revoke or refuse to renew a massage establishment permit or a home occupation massage permit if he or she makes any of the findings for denial of a permit under §§ 5.28.040 or 5.28.080(C), if the operator or any person employed or retained by the massage establishment or home occupation massage business has violated any provision of this chapter, or upon a demonstrated inability to operate or manage the massage establishment or home occupation massage business in a law abiding manner, thus necessitating action by law enforcement officers.
(2) The Chief of Police may suspend a massage establishment permit or a home occupation massage permit for a period of 30 days for each violation of §§ 5.28.050 or 5.28.080. If a suspended permit lapses during the suspension period, a new application must be submitted at the end of the suspension period.
(B) Notice. When the Chief of Police concludes that grounds for denial, suspension, revocation or refusal to renew a permit exist, the Chief of Police shall serve the operator, either personally or by certified mail addressed to the business or residence address of operator, with a Notice of Denial or Notice of Intent to Suspend, Revoke or Refuse to Renew Permit. This Notice shall state the reasons for the proposed action, the effective date of the decision, the right of the operator to appeal the decision pursuant to Chapter 1.09 of this code, and that the decision will be final if no appeal is filed within the time permitted.
(C) Appeal.
(1) Any person aggrieved by a decision of the Chief of Police with reference to the denial, suspension, revocation or refusal to renew a permit may appeal pursuant to Chapter 1.09 of this code.
(2) No permit granted herein shall confer any vested right to any person or business for more than the permit period. All operators, managers and massage therapists subject to this chapter shall comply with the provisions of this chapter as they may be amended hereafter.
