(A) Suspended permits. The city may revoke a permit if a cause of suspension in § 119.11 occurs and the permit has been suspended within the preceding 12 months.
(B) Causes of revocation. The city shall revoke a permit if it determines that:
(l) A permittee gave false or misleading information in the material submitted to the city during the application process;
(2) A permittee or an employee has knowingly allowed possession, use, or sale of controlled substances on the premises;
(3) A permittee or an employee has knowingly allowed prostitution on the premises;
(4) A permittee or an employee knowingly operated the adult oriented business during a period of time when the permittee's permit was suspended;
(6) On 2 or more occasions within a 12-month period, a person or persons committed an offense occurring in or on the permitted premises of a crime listed in § 119.07 (B)(7), for which a conviction has been obtained, and the person or persons were employees of the adult oriented business at the time the offenses were committed; or
(7) A permittee or an employee has knowingly allowed any act of sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation, or masturbation to occur in or on the permitted premises.
(C) Appeals. The fact that a conviction is being appealed shall have no effect on the revocation of the permit.
(D) Exceptions. Division (B)(7) above does not apply to adult motels as a ground for revoking the permit unless the permittee or employee knowingly allowed the act of sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation, masturbation, or sexual contact to occur in a public place or within public view.
(E) Granting a permit after revocation. When the city revokes a permit, the revocation shall continue for 1 year and the permittee shall not be issued an adult oriented business permit for 1 year from the date revocation became effective. If, subsequent to revocation, the city finds that the basis for the revocation 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 effective. If the permit was revoked under division (B)(5) above, an applicant may not be granted another permit until the appropriate number of years required under § 119.07 (B)(7)(b) has elapsed.
(F) Notice. A revocation by the city shall be preceded by written notice to the permittee and a public hearing. The notice shall give at least 10 day's notice of the time and place of the hearing and shall state the nature of the charges against the permittee. The notice may be served upon the permittee personally, or by leaving the same at the permitted premises with the person in charge thereof.
