A. Mandatory Revocation. The Director of Community Development shall revoke a permit authorizing an event if he or she finds that there were grounds for denying the permit, as set forth in Section 10.44.090, which were first disclosed or otherwise made known to the Director after issuance of the permit and such facts were not discoverable by the exercise of due diligence by the Director prior to the issuance of the permit.
B. Discretionary Revocation. The Director of Community Development may revoke a permit authorizing an event if he or she determines that the event is being conducted in violation of the terms of the permit or that event participants have violated any applicable law or regulation; provided that this subsection shall not authorize the revocation of a permit because of the need to protect participants from the conduct of others unless there are insufficient resources available to provide necessary police protection; and provided further that the Director shall not revoke a permit pursuant to this subsection unless and until he or she advises the permittee or responsible event participants of such violation and provides a reasonable opportunity to correct such violation.
C. Notice of Revocation. When the Director of Community Development finds grounds to revoke permit prior to the date of the event, he or she shall immediately serve a written notice of such decision on the permittee and shall provide copies of the notice to the City Manager, the Mayor, the City Attorney and all other City officers charged with carrying out any responsibilities under this chapter. However, where the Director of Community Development learns of the facts justifying revocation within twenty-four hours of the event, he or she shall announce the decision to revoke the permit at the site of the event. Thereafter, the Director of Community Development shall deliver written notice of such action to the permittee, the City Manager, the Mayor and the City Attorney.
D. Hearing on Revocation. The permittee shall have a right to a hearing before the City Council at its first regular or adjourned regular meeting on or after the day following the filing of a notice appealing the revocation, provided that the event is scheduled at least forty-eight hours after the notice of appeal is filed. The City Council shall issue a final decision orally at the conclusion of the hearing and shall also notify the permittee in writing of its decision.
E. Content of Notice of Revocation. Any notification of action by the Director of Community Development taken pursuant to this section, whether oral or written, shall describe with particularity the facts and reasons for the decision.
