(A) Application of section. This section is applicable to all licenses or permits issued by the city, regardless of their nature or subject matter, unless provision is established for any such license review or revocation.
(B) Review or revocation. The city may, after following the established procedures in this section, review or revoke any license or permit previously issued by the city. A review may include imposing reasonable restrictions upon the holder of the permit or license.
(C) Scheduling of hearing; notice to license or permit holder. Any license or permit issued by the city may be reviewed by the City Council on its own motion. Whenever the Council votes to so review any such license or permit, it shall, at that time, set a time, date and place of the review and the holder of the license or permit shall be notified of this hearing by the City Clerk mailing, by ordinary mail, a notice of the hearing to the license or permit holder at the last known address therefor. The notice shall state that the City Council has voted to review the permit and that upon review the City Council has the authority pursuant to this section to revoke the license or permit or review the license or permit and impose such additional restrictions thereon as are reasonable or allowed by law and that the license or permit holder must then appear and offer any comments or defenses he or she has to the action of the Council. The Council shall afford the license or permit holder adequate time to offer his or her relevant proofs. In addition, the notice may recite a brief summary of the alleged facts, and all appropriate matters may be considered at the hearing, even though not known when the notice is prepared and mailed. This notice shall be mailed by the City Clerk to the last known address of the license or permit holder by ordinary mail, with sufficient postage attached thereto to guarantee delivery, all at least ten days prior to the hearing date.
(D) Decision of Council concerning review. Any decision of the City Council to revoke or to review and further restrict any license or permit shall be made only after a majority vote of the Council following the hearing. If additional restrictions are imposed, an amended permit shall be issued with these restrictions noted thereon and delivered to the permit or license holder either personally or by ordinary mail addressed to the last known address of the permit or license holder with sufficient postage attached thereto to guarantee delivery. These additional restrictions shall be effective upon receipt of the amended permit.
(E) Application to existing permit and license holders. This section applies to all holders of city permits and licenses, regardless of when issued.
