(A) The city, through its City Manager, shall revoke a license if a cause of suspension in § 120.09 of this chapter occurs and the license has been suspended within the preceding 12 months.
(B) (1) The city shall revoke a license if it determines that:
(a) A licensee gave false or misleading information in the material submitted during the application process;
(b) A licensee has knowingly allowed possession, use or sale of controlled substances on the premises;
(c) A licensee has knowingly allowed prostitution on the premises;
(d) A licensee knowingly operated the sexually-oriented business during a period of time when the licensee’s license was suspended;
(e) Except in the case of an adult motel, a licensee has knowingly allowed any act of sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation, masturbation or other sex act to occur in or on the licensed premises; or
(f) A licensee is delinquent in payment to the city, county or state for any taxes or fees past due.
(2) Nothing in this section shall subject an operator of a sexually-oriented business to a revocation of a license because of a violation of or non-compliance with the provisions of this chapter by an employee unless the operator knew or should have known of the violation or non-compliance.
(C) When the city revokes a license, the revocation shall continue for one year, and the licensee shall not be issued a sexually-oriented business license for one year from the date the revocation became effective. If, subsequent to revocation, the city finds that the basis for the revocation has been corrected or abated, the applicant may be granted a license if at least 90 days have elapsed since the date the revocation became effective.
