1301.15 PROHIBITED ISSUANCE OF LICENSE.

   No personnel of the Bureau shall issue any permit or license required by law until, and unless, any and all requirements of this chapter and any and all special or other requirements provided elsewhere have been satisfied and it shall be unlawful for any person to accept a license or permit required by law, when such person knows that all the requirements therefor have not been satisfied. (Ord. 65-168. Passed 4-20-65.)

1301.16 TERM OF LICENSE OR PERMIT.

   A license or permit shall not be valid beyond the expiration date therein specified and, unless otherwise provided, shall not extend beyond the last day of the year of issue. Provided, the Bureau may issue annual permits and licenses for the ensuing year during the period of fifteen days prior to the commencement thereof. Unless otherwise specified, and except as provided in Section 1301.14(e), the full annual fee will be required irrespective of the date of issue of any license or permit. (Ord. 65-168. Passed 4-20-65.)

1301.17 NONTRANSFERABILITY.

   Every license and permit shall be issued to a real party in interest in the matter involved, and, unless otherwise provided, no license or permit shall be assigned or transferred.

(Ord. 65-168. Passed 4-20-65.)

1301.18 DISPLAY OF LICENSE OR PERMIT.

   Every license and permit issued which has reference to a specific location, trade or business, shall be prominently displayed and posted on the premises to which the same is applicable. Other licensees and permittees shall carry the same at all times and shall exhibit the same upon the request of any personnel of the Bureau, a police officer or other interested citizen. Violation of any provision of this section shall be punishable by a fine of not more than ten dollars ($10.00). (Ord. 65-168. Passed 4-20-65.)

1301.19 REVOCATION OR SUSPENSION.

   (a)    Any license or permit may be revoked by the Chief of the Bureau at any time for conditions or considerations which, had they existed at the time of issuance, would have been valid grounds for its denial; for the violation of any provision of this chapter or any other law, ordinance, code or regulation within the jurisdiction of the Bureau relating to the matter for which the license or permit was issued or upon conviction of the holder of any Federal, State or City law or ordinance, involving moral turpitude. Such revocation shall become effective upon notice served upon the holder or upon notice being posted upon the premises relating to the license or permit.

   (b)    Except as otherwise provided by law, the Chief of the Bureau may issue an order suspending a license or permit which suspension shall become effective immediately upon service of written notice thereof upon the holder. Such notice shall specify the reason for the suspension and may provide conditions under which reinstatement of the license or permit may be obtained. Upon compliance with such conditions within the time specified, the license or permit shall be restored. (Ord. 65-168. Passed 4-20-65.)

1301.20 APPEAL AND REVIEW.

   Except as otherwise provided by law, any applicant for a license or permit which has been denied, or which has been suspended or revoked under the provisions of this chapter, shall have the right to appeal such denial, suspension or revocation. Such appeal shall be filed with the Bureau within three business days of such denial, suspension or revocation, or notice thereof, and shall be accompanied by a fee of ten dollars ($10.00) for processing the appeal, which fee shall be refunded if the Bureau's decision is wholly reversed. The Bureau shall transmit the file relating to the matter to the Board of Appeals and shall be represented at the hearing of the appeal by a member of the Bureau as the Chief may direct, or as may be otherwise provided by law. The Bureau shall serve written notice, by registered or certified mail, upon the appellant of the time, place and date of the hearing on the appeal, and the same shall be set for the next regular meeting of the Board of Appeals, providing that such date permits two days' notice thereof to the appellant, and providing further that the appellant may waive written notice in order to expedite the hearing of the appeal. The appellant may appear and be heard in person, or by counsel. Failure to appear at the hearing shall be deemed to be a withdrawal of the appeal, unless prior thereto, the appellant has through the Bureau, requested a continuance. Any order, requirement, determination or decision of the Bureau may be appealed, in like manner.

(Ord. 91-048. Passed 2-5-9 l.)

1301.21 BOARD OF APPEALS.

   (a)   Except as may be otherwise specifically required by one or more of the technical codes adopted by the City pursuant to the provisions of Ohio R.C. 731.231, the City Planning Commission is hereby designated to be the Board of Appeals for any and all matters within the jurisdiction of the Bureau.

   (b)   The Board shall adopt its own rules and regulations of procedure and keep a record of its proceedings which shall show the action taken by the Board and the vote of each member present upon each question considered.

Four votes shall be required to establish every decision of the Board.

   (c)   The Board shall meet at least once each month at a regular time and fixed place. All meetings shall be open to the public. Executive sessions of the Board shall be permitted, but no decision of the Board shall be made in executive session other than upon internal administrative matters.
