(A) Within 30 days of submission of a complete application, the City Coordinator's office shall notify the applicant of whether the application is granted. If denied, the City Coordinator's office shall specify those items or concerns for which the application is deemed insufficient. If denied, the applicant may appeal the decision to the City Council.

(1) All applicants for such a license must agree to provide, at their own cost, uniformed certified security personnel or police officers to be present at the facility during all hours of operation of the teen dance activity for which the license is sought. For this purpose, there shall be one certified security personnel person or police officer present for every 200 persons planned for the facility. However, in no event shall there be less than two uniformed police officers or certified security personnel persons present at the facility during the hours of the teen dance activity.
(2) To prevent overcrowding, all applicants must agree to the pre-sale of tickets to the facility for the teen dance activity and the plan for such pre-sale of tickets must be set forth in the activity plan of the application.
(3) All applicants must agree to control and supervise patrons of the teen dance activity from re-entering the facility after leaving it, and a patron of the teen dance shall not be permitted to leave the facility and re-enter it without the permission and supervision of the applicant as the license holder.
(4) No alcoholic beverages are to be sold or allowed on the premises for consumption during the hours of operation of the teen dance activities. Any applicant receiving a license is responsible for taking immediate action for the confiscation of any alcoholic beverages on the premises, including any parking areas of the facility, and shall cooperate fully with the uniformed police officers for this purpose.
(5) All operators of the teen dance activity are required to maintain food and nonalcoholic beverage service for the persons attending the teen dance.
(6) There must be dining facilities for not less than 100 persons at the facility for which the teen dance activity is proposed, and there shall not be less than 15,000 square feet of parking space available for use during all hours of the teen dance activity.
(7) At least 50% of the gross revenue from the teen dance activity shall be for sales of foods and nonalcoholic beverage.
(8) In providing proper adult supervision and management control, all applicants for which a license is granted shall have at least one adult person present for every 80 teenagers, based on the pre-sale of the tickets, and in addition there shall be at least two resident managers. These persons must be present at all times during the dance activity. In determining compliance with this requirement, those persons located in areas of the facility, such as a kitchen or office area, that are out of sight of those portions of the facility open to the public shall not be included.
(9) Any license granted by this subchapter shall expire no later than one year from the date of its issuance. Under any such license, teen dances may be permitted on the premises for no more than two nights a week, which shall be Friday or Saturday evenings. Teen dances on any given evening shall operate only between the hours of 9:00 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. and the premises cleared by l:00 a.m. Further, there shall be a probationary period of six months for any license issued, initially, to any specific premises.
(10) All applicants as license holders, and as part of their application, shall acknowledge, consent, and agree that any license that might be issued may be immediately revoked by the city, through its City Coordinator for any violation of a statute, ordinance, regulation, or code provision, or for any misrepresentation or failure to comply with any contents or conditions of the application, its activity plan, or license issued, upon five days written notice to the applicant for that license. Further, during the probationary period of six months for any license at a new facility, such license may be revoked by the City Coordinator for disorderly or immoral conduct on the premises or for violation of any rules, regulations, ordinances, or laws governing and applying to the public dances, or for other reasons the teen dance activity violates public decency, morals, or public safety.
(11) No license for teen dance activity under this subchapter shall be issued for any facility that is located less than 500 lineal feet from a residential area.
