A. Prior Suspensions: City administration shall revoke a permit if a cause of suspension as set forth in section 3-5-15 of this chapter occurs and the permit has been suspended within the preceding twelve (12) months.
B. Determinations For Revocation: City administration shall revoke a permit upon determining that:
1. A permittee gave false or misleading information in the material submitted during the application process that tended to enhance the applicant's opportunity for obtaining a permit; or
2. A permittee or an employee has knowingly allowed possession, use or sale of controlled substances in or on the premises; or
3. A permittee or an employee has knowingly allowed prostitution on the premises; or
4. A permittee or an employee knowingly operated the sexually oriented business during a period of time when the permittee's permit was suspended; or
5. A permittee has been convicted of a "specified criminal act", as defined in this chapter, for which the time period required in subsection 3-5-11C of this chapter has not elapsed; or
6. On two (2) or more occasions within a twelve (12) month period, a person committed an offense, occurring in or on the permitted premises, constituting a specified criminal act for which a conviction has been obtained, and the person was an employee of the sexually oriented business at the time the offenses were committed. The fact that a conviction is being appealed shall have no effect on the revocation of the permit; or
7. A permittee is convicted of tax violations for any taxes or fees related to a sexually oriented business; or
8. A permittee or an employee has knowingly allowed any act of sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation, masturbation or any other specified sexual activities to occur in or on the permitted premises; or
9. A permittee has been operating more than one sexually oriented business under a single roof.
C. Remain In Effect: When city administration revokes a permit, the revocation shall continue for one year and the permittee shall not be issued a sexually oriented business permit for one year from the date revocation became effective. If, subsequent to revocation, city administration finds that the basis for revocation under this section has been corrected, the applicant shall be granted a permit if at least ninety (90) days have elapsed since the date revocation became effective. If the permit was revoked under this section, an applicant may not be granted another permit until the time required under this section has elapsed. (Ord. 95-12, 9-6-1995, eff. 9-7-1995; amd.
