3-1-1: LICENSE REQUIRED; SUBJECTS OF LICENSING AUTHORITY:
No person shall conduct, engage in, maintain, operate, carry on or manage any business, occupation, activity or establishment, either by himself or through an agent, employee or partner, for which a license is required by this code or by any municipal ordinance, without first having obtained a license for such business, occupation, activity or establishment.
Whenever a license or permit is required for the maintenance, operation or conduct of business or establishment, or for doing business or engaging in any activity or occupation, any person shall be subject to the requirement if, by himself or through an agent, employee or partner, he is held forth as being engaged in the business, actively or passively, or if he performs or attempts to perform any part of such business activity or occupation in the municipality.
Unless otherwise provided in this chapter, each individual business or commercial activity within the municipality shall be required to obtain only one license, but shall be required to comply with all applicable regulations contained in this chapter or elsewhere. The license fee required to be paid by an individual business which is subject to two (2) or more licenses in this chapter shall be the largest of those applicable. A business shall be considered to be individual only if it is owned by identical persons or entities, is contained within one single building, and conducts activities which are closely related. (Ord. 912, 8-24-1981)
