(A) The permit year shall begin on January 1 in each year and shall terminate on December 31 of the same calendar year. An annual permit issued between December 1 and December 31 of any year shall expire on December 31 of the calendar year next following issuance thereof.
(B) A collection container permit shall be renewed annually following its initial term as outlined in § 17.75.060(A) above. The application for renewal must be filed, along with a nonrefundable fee in an amount established by resolution of the City Council, not later than 30 calendar days before the permit expires. The application for renewal shall be upon a form provided by the department.
(C) The Zoning Administrator shall either approve or deny the renewal of a permit within 15 business days of receipt of the complete renewal application and payment of the renewal fee. If the application for renewal is filed timely along with the renewal fee, failure of the Zoning Administrator to act prior to the expiration of the permit shall constitute approval of the permit renewal.
(D) The Zoning Administrator shall approve the permit renewal unless the Zoning Administrator finds that circumstances existed during the term of the permit which would cause a violation of this chapter, including, without limitation, the provisions of § 17.75.050(A) above, or that at the time of submission of the application for renewal, or at any time during the review of the renewal application, circumstances exist which are inconsistent with the requirements for approval of a new permit as provided for in § 17.75.050 above. As provided in § 17.75.070(A) below, any permittee whose permit has been revoked during its initial term or any subsequent calendar year shall be denied renewal of the permit for the subsequent calendar year.
(E) Prior to expiration of the permit, the permittee may voluntarily cancel its permit by notifying the Zoning Administrator in writing of its desire to cancel the permit. The permit shall expire and become void upon the Zoning Administrator's receipt of such written notice.
(F) If the permit expires, is canceled by permittee or is not renewed, the collection container(s) must be removed from the real property within a maximum of 15 calendar days after expiration of the permit. If not so removed within such time period, the city may remove, store or dispose of the collection container at the expense of the permittee, operator and/or real property owner. All costs associated with the removal of the collection container incurred by the city, or the city's contractor, shall be the responsibility of the permittee, operator and/or property owner. If such obligation is not paid within 30 calendar days after mailing of a billing of costs to the permittee, operator or property owner, the city may place a lien upon such real property enforceable as a tax lien in the manner prescribed by the general laws of this state against the property and collected as in the case of general property tax. If the same is not paid prior to the preparation of the next assessment roll of the city, the amount shall be assessed as a special tax against such premises on the next assessment roll and collected thereunder.
