(1) The information presented in the application is inaccurate or false.
(2) The application seeks authorization for retailing at a location for which this chapter prohibits issuance of a permit.
(3) The application seeks authorization for retailing by a person to whom this chapter prohibits issuance of a permit.
(4) The application seeks authorization for a retailer whose permit has previously been revoked or who has otherwise violated any provision of this chapter within the last sixty months.
(5) The application seeks authorization for retailing that is prohibited pursuant to this chapter (e.g., mobile vending, electronic cigarette products) or that is unlawful pursuant to any other law.
(6) The application seeks authorization for retailing by a retailer who has failed to pay any fees, penalties, or reinspection fees required by this chapter.
(b) A permit shall be revoked if the department finds that one or more of the bases for denial of a permit under this section existed at the time application was made or at any time before the permit was issued. Such a revocation shall be without prejudice to the filing of a new permit application.
(c) A permit shall be permanently revoked if the retailer has committed violations as specified in Section 4.64.130.
