   (a)   Continuing Business. Pending the final determination of a proceeding for revocation or suspension of a permit, a permittee may continue to engage in the business until the Board makes such final determination. (Amended by Ord. No. 137,438, Eff. 11/7/68.)
 
   (b)   Annual Police Permit Fee – Application. A permittee may submit the required police permit fee pursuant to Section 103.07 during the pendency of a proceeding to revoke or suspend the permittee’s permit. Such payment shall continue such permit in full force and effect until the entry of the final order by the Board terminating the proceedings. Failure of the Board to revoke, suspend, limit or condition the permit shall have the effect of continuing in full force said permit. (Amended by Ord. No. 137,438, Eff. 11/7/68.)
 
   (c)   Change of Location or Additional Locations – Application. A permittee may file an application for a change of location or additional locations during the pendency of a proceeding to suspend or revoke the permittee’s permit. The Board may authorize the change of location or additional locations.

   The Board may place reasonable limits and/or conditions upon any permit in any of the following situations:
 
   (a)   In any proceeding concerning the issuance, denial or revocation of a permit if the Board finds that grounds exist for the denial or revocation of the permit which grounds may be removed by the imposition of such limitations or conditions.
 
   (b)   In any proceeding concerning the suspension or revocation of a permit, if findings are made which would justify such suspension or revocation, and where the imposition of such limitations or conditions are reasonably related to such findings. In the case of a suspension, the conditions may be in lieu of or in addition to such suspension.
 
   (c)   Where, after proceedings to suspend or revoke a permit, the Board issues an order suspending or revoking only a portion of the activities to be exercised under such permit.
 
   (d)   In any proceeding concerning the issuance, denial or revocation of a permit, if the Board finds the imposition of such limitations or conditions is necessary for the public welfare.

   (Added by Ord. No. 140,008, Eff. 2/20/70.)
 
   The limitations and/or conditions authorized by Section 103.40.1 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code may cover any matter relating to the activities to be exercised under the permit, the conduct of the business or the condition of the premises, which will protect the public welfare including but not limited to the following:

   (h)   Where the Board determines there is a substantial danger of injury or damage to the public and/or property because of the permitted activity, the Board may require a policy of insurance naming the City of Los Angeles as an additional insured together with its agents, servants and employees as a co-insured and/or bond to cover the damage and/or injury which may occur.
