A. All licenses issued under this chapter shall be effective for one year from the date of approval by the city council. An application for the renewal of an existing license shall be made prior to the expiration date of the license and shall be made in such form as the issuing authority requires. If, in the judgment of the city council, good and sufficient cause is shown by the applicant for the applicant's failure to submit a renewal application before the expiration of the existing license, the city council may, if the other provisions of this chapter are complied with, grant the renewal application.
B. A license under this chapter may not be renewed:
1. If the city council determines that the licensee has failed to comply with the provisions of this chapter in preceding license years;
2. If the licensee or, if the licensee does not manage the establishment, the manager of the licensed premises is not a resident of Minnesota on the date the renewal takes effect;
3. If in the case of a partnership, the managing partner or other person who manages the establishment is not a resident of Minnesota on the date the renewal takes effect;
4. If in the case of a corporation, or other organization, the manager, a proprietor, or agent in charge of the establishment is not a resident of Minnesota on the date the renewal takes effect;
5. The time for establishing residence in Minnesota may for good cause be extended by the city council. (Ord. 716, sec. 1, 7-1-2002)
