(1) The full name, age and residence of the owner;
(2) The site upon which such business is to be conducted;
(3) Length of time in business as a used automobile dealer continuously prior to the date of application; and
(4) The date of license from the Secretary of State authorizing the conduct of a business in used automobiles.
(B) The application shall be subscribed and sworn to by the applicant and filed with the City Clerk. The application shall be referred by the City Clerk to the City Council who shall cause an investigation to be made of the fitness and eligibility of the applicant as to character and ability to conduct such business. The City Council shall have the right to withhold its approval as to any site, the occupancy of which would, in the opinion of the City Council, be non-conforming to the general uses of the area immediately surrounding said site and detrimental to the property values of said neighborhood. If, in the opinion of the City Council, the person making the application is a proper person and the place to be used is zoned for such business, they may authorize the granting of the license upon the payment of the license fee, which license shall be issued by the City Clerk.
