2-4-19: LICENSE CONVERSION OR TRANSFER OF LOCATION, RESTRICTIONS; LIQUOR LICENSE ORIGINATION FEE AND PROCESSING FEE:
No alcoholic liquor license is convertible into a different type of license or transferable to a new location unless such proposed conversion or transfer complies with and meets all of the requirements of this chapter and title 9 of this code. The council may authorize such conversion or transfer, which authorization may be withheld for any reason deemed sufficient by the council. The city manager or his designee may authorize a conversion which results in a downgrade, or a less restrictive license, such as from full off-sale to off- sale beer, wine and spirit based products. If the licensee has paid the liquor license origination fee for the category being converted, he shall be required to pay the difference between that fee and the liquor license origination fee for the category to which it is being converted. If the licensee has not paid a liquor license origination fee for the category being converted, he shall be required to pay the liquor license origination fee for the category to which it is being converted. There shall be no refund of any license origination fee paid if the license is downgraded. There shall be no liquor license origination fee required for a change of location. Location changes are subject to a fifty dollar ($50.00) processing fee. (Ord. 402, 7-8-2008, eff. 7-31-2008)
