A. Grounds: The grounds for which the county commissioners may revoke an existing license, or refuse to renew the same, include the following:
1. Violation of any of the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant to this chapter;
2. Continued operation of the business in question will be detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, peace or general welfare of the community at large;
3. Refusal by the licensee to pay the fee assessed in section 4-1-10 of this chapter after receiving the notice required by the provisions of this section. (1988 Code § 4.20.010)
B. Notice Requirements: Before the commissioners may revoke or refuse to renew any license provided for hereunder, it must have written notice to the aggrieved party setting forth the action it intends to take, and specifying the grounds therefor. Such written notice shall include notice regarding the party's right to a hearing and the party's responsibilities regarding requesting such a hearing.
C. Hearing: The aggrieved party must be given an opportunity for a hearing before the commissioners if requested in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of said notice. At said hearing, the aggrieved party must be given the opportunity to present his case and cross examine opposing witnesses, if any. (1988 Code § 4.20.020)
D. Judicial Relief: Persons aggrieved by any decision of the commissioners shall have the right to seek judicial relief therefrom only after having exhausted the administrative remedies set forth in this section. (1988 Code § 4.20.010)
E. Effect Of Denial Or Revocation: If at any time a license is denied or revoked under the provisions of this chapter, it shall thereafter be unlawful for any person to carry on, operate, or use or permit to be used or operated, any property for any business with respect to which said license has been revoked or denied until a license shall be granted by the commissioners. (1988 Code § 4.20.030)
F.
