(A) Renewal of any existing adult entertainment establishment license during a period when charges against the same are pending for a hearing before the city council for revocation shall not constitute a waiver of the charges.
(B) No transfer of an existing adult entertainment establishment shall be permitted so long as charges against the same are pending for a hearing before the city council.
(C) In the event an adult entertainment establishment license is surrendered by the license holder pending charges against the license and prior to any revocation hearing, or is revoked after a hearing, no new license certificate shall be issued to any person when, in the discretion of the city clerk, the same is attempted for the sole purpose of allowing the previously surrendered or revoked license holder, or the holder of a license surrendered in lieu of revocation, to operate business under a new adult entertainment establishment license and merely in the name of another person, the same constituting a "sham" application.
