(b) The Town Manager, or said manager's designee, shall revoke a permit, if the Town Manager determines that one or more of the following is true:

(2) A permittee or an employee has knowingly allowed the possession, use, or sale of controlled substances, or any derivative thereof, on the premises.
(3) A permittee or an employee knowingly permitted dancing or a live performance during a period of time when the rave club permit was suspended.

If, subsequent to revocation, the Town Manager or designee finds that the basis for the revocation action has been corrected or abated, the applicant may be granted a permit, if at least 90 days have elapsed since the date the revocation became final. If the permit was revoked under subsection (b)(4) hereof, an applicant may not be granted another permit until the appropriate number of years required under § 73-33(a)(6)b. has elapsed.
