(a) The Town of Dyer Department of Planning and Zoning, or its designee, shall revoke a permit if a cause of suspension in Section 10-168.9 occurs and the permit has been suspended within the preceding twelve (12) months.
(b) The Town of Dyer Department of Planning and Zoning, or its designee, shall revoke a permit upon determining that:
(1) A permittee gave false or misleading information in the material submitted during the application process that tended to enhance the applicant's opportunity for obtaining a permit; or
(2) A permittee or an employee has knowingly allowed possession, use or sale of controlled substances in or on the premises; or
(3) A permittee or an employee has knowingly allowed prostitution on the premises; or
(4) A permittee or an employee knowingly operated the sexually oriented business during a period of time when the permittee's permit was suspended; or
(5) On two (2) or more occasions within a twelve (12) month period, a person, or persons, committed an offense occurring in or on the permitted premises, which offense constitutes a specified criminal act for which a conviction has been obtained and the person, or persons, were employees of the sexually oriented business at the time the offenses were committed. The fact that a conviction is being appealed shall have no effect on the revocation of the permit; or
(6) A permittee is convicted of tax violations for any taxes or fees related to a sexually oriented business; or
(7) A permittee or an employee has knowingly allowed any act of sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation, masturbation, or any other specified sexual activities to occur in or on the permitted premises; or
(8) A permittee has operated, or is operating, more than one (1) sexually oriented business under a single roof under the terms of a single permit; or
(9) A permittee has engaged in or attempted to engage in a transfer of permit, in violation of Section 10-168.12.
(c) When the Town of Dyer Department of Planning and Zoning, or its designee, revokes a permit, the revocation shall continue for one (1) year and the permittee shall not be issued a sexually oriented business permit for a period of one (1) year from the date the revocation became effective. If, subsequent to revocation, the Town of Dyer Department of Planning and Zoning, or its designee, finds that the basis for revocation under Section 10-168.10 has been corrected, the applicant shall be granted a permit if at least ninety (90) days have elapsed since the date revocation became effective. If the permit was revoked under Section 10-168.10, an applicant may not be granted another permit until the specified number of years required under Section 10-168.5 have elapsed.
