Upon full compliance of the city code and all pertinent rules or regulations of the Building Division, the Department of Health, the Fire Department, and the Police Department relating to the safety, health, convenience, comfort, and morals of the public, and upon completion of the inspection by the City Clerk and/or other departments involved, the City Clerk shall report the findings of his inspection along with the reports of the other departments involved, to the Council for their determination as to whether or not a license shall be issued. (‘83 Code, § 116.04)
(B) The Council may refuse to issue a license to the operator of any tavern, bar, cocktail lounge, restaurant, or cabaret for good and satisfactory reasons where it appears that issuance of the license would be detrimental to the health, safety, welfare, or morals of the citizens of the city. The City Council shall also have the authority to revoke or suspend a license issued hereunder, or to refuse to renew a license when it finds any of the following.
(1) That the licensee is operating in violation of this subchapter or any other governing law, ordinance, or regulation.
(2) That the licensee is operating so as to constitute a nuisance, by reason of disorderly conduct or immoral activity on the premises. Prior to revoking or suspending a license, or refusing to renew a license, a hearing shall be held by the City Council, at which time the licensee shall have an opportunity to show cause why his license should be renewed or should not be revoked or suspended.
