A. Conditions For Denial: If the license application, prelicense investigation, or any other information reasonably relied on by the village manager reveal any of the following circumstances, then the village manager shall promptly notify the applicant that the license or renewal of a license is denied and that, therefore, no license or renewal of a license shall issue: (Ord. 93-12-627, 12-6-1993; amd. Ord. 2012-10-861, 10-1-2012)
1. The noncompliance of the applicant, the building, the business, the activity or the occupation for which a license or renewal of a license is sought, or the location of such building, business, activity or occupation, with this code or with any other village code, ordinance or regulation, including, without limitation, all health, fire and safety regulations.
2. The noncompliance of the applicant with any applicable state of Illinois law or administrative regulation, including the applicant's failure to obtain any necessary license or permit from the state of Illinois. (Ord. 93-12-627, 12-6-1993)
3. The failure of the applicant at any time to provide convenient and reasonable access to the location of the subject business, activity or occupation; or to provide other data or information that the village manager reasonably requires as part of the prelicense investigation. (Ord. 93-12-627, 12-6-1993; amd. Ord. 2012-10-861, 10-1-2012)
4. The operation by the applicant of a business, activity, or occupation for any period of time in a previous year without a license, when such business, activity or occupation was required to have a license. This circumstance shall be deemed not to be grounds for denial of a license if, but only if, the applicant first pays all past due license fees and all fines and penalties.
5. The operation by the applicant of a business, activity or occupation in a previous year in violation of any federal, state of Illinois or local law or regulation, including, without limitation, the provisions of this title.
6. In the case of a license renewal, the operation or conduct of the business, activity or occupation at any time in a manner substantially adverse to the best interests of the village, the village residents or the customers or clients of such business, activity or occupation. (Ord. 93-12-627, 12-6-1993)
7. The previous conviction of the applicant on a felony or any other crime of moral turpitude, or the unsuccessful defense by the applicant of a criminal or civil proceeding wherein he or she was charged with fraud, misrepresentation or unscrupulous business practices. However, if the conviction or unsuccessful defense occurred more than four (4) years prior to the date of application, and the village manager determines that the issuance of the requested license will not endanger the safety or welfare of the general public, then the village manager shall not disapprove the application solely on these grounds.
8. The determination by the village manager that the business, activity or occupation for which a license or license renewal is sought will pose an undue risk to the safety or welfare of the general public or will otherwise create a public nuisance. (Ord. 93-12-627, 12-6-1993; amd. Ord. 2012-10-861, 10-1-2012)
9. The violation by the applicant of any condition imposed on the license or licensee by, or pursuant to, this chapter. (Ord. 93-12-627, 12-6-1993)
B. Notice Of Denial: If any license or renewal of a license is denied, then the village manager shall notify the applicant in writing of the reasons for such denial.
C. Return Of Fee: If any license or renewal of a license is denied, then the village manager shall return any prepaid license fee. (Ord. 93-12-627, 12-6-1993; amd. Ord. 2012-10-861, 10-1-2012)
