(A) The applicant shall be given two business days in the interest of efficiency to make any “minor” correction to an entry or omission on their business license application, or make correction or repair in regard to their mode or method of business or procedure required or recommended by the rejecting department(s) in writing, and may upon making such corrections re-submit the license application for further review without resubmitting the application fee. Applicants shall not be allowed to avail themselves of this remedial procedure to correct minor defect in the application more than once per application. Subsequent denials require that the applicant re-submits the application and application fee, or initiate the appeals process described herein under § 110.046. Applications which are deemed to have a major violation, inaccuracy, or omission in violation of the city code shall be denied a business license.
(B) Applicants who fail to submit corrections or notify the City Controller of his or her intention to remedy a minor defect or violation in their application, or business as described in division (A) above by the end of the second business day after notification of such defect or violation, shall be deemed to have waived their opportunity to correct without resubmitting the application and fees, and the denial of the application shall be final. Applicants who have been denied a business license may re-submit their business license application and pay all applicable fees, or begin a new application process, and pay all applicable fees.
(C) Where a condition requiring repair or correction exists on real property, the rejecting department(s) shall notify the applicant and persons holding a substantial interest in the property of the violation in writing, and the required or recommended repair. The applicant and/or property owners shall be given ten business days to bring the property and/or place of business into compliance with this code. The applicant may upon making such correction(s) or repair within the allotted time, re-submit the license application for further review without resubmitting the application fee.
