(1) Violated or is not in compliance with any provision of this chapter;
(2) Engaged in the use of alcoholic beverages while on the adult oriented business premises other than at an adult hotel or motel;
(3) Refused to allow an inspection of the adult oriented business premises as authorized by this chapter;
(4) Knowingly permitted gambling by any person on the adult oriented business premises; and
(5) Demonstrated inability to operate or manage an adult oriented business in a peaceful and law-abiding manner, thus necessitating action by law enforcement officers.

The notice shall give at least ten-days' notice of the time and place of the hearing and shall state the nature of the charges against the licensee.
