(a) The Director of Public Service shall revoke a license if a cause of suspension, as set forth in Section 765.09, occurs during any twelve-month period in which a license has already been suspended for any of such causes.
(b) In addition to the provisions of division (a) of this section, the Director of Public Service shall revoke a license if he or she determines that:
(1) A licensee gave false or misleading information in the material submitted to the Director of Public Service during the application process;
(2) A licensee or an employee has knowingly allowed the possession, use or sale of controlled substances on the premises;
(3) A licensee or an employee has knowingly allowed prostitution on the premises;
(4) A licensee or an employee knowingly operated the sexually oriented business during a period of time when the licensee's license was suspended;
(6) On two or more occasions within a twelve-month period, a person or persons committed, in or on the licensed premises, a crime listed in Section 765.05 (a)(8)A. for which a conviction has been obtained, and the person or persons were employees of the sexually oriented business at the time the offenses were committed;
(7) A licensee or an employee has knowingly allowed any act of sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation, masturbation or sexual contact to occur in or on the licensed premises; or
(8) A licensee is delinquent in payment to the City of income taxes or a business license fee relating to the sexually oriented business.
(c) The fact that a conviction is being appealed shall have no effect on the revocation of the license.
(d) Division (b)(7) of this section does not apply as a ground for revoking the license, in the case of adult motels, unless the licensee 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) When the Director of Public Service revokes a license, the revocation shall continue for one year and the licensee shall not be issued a sexually oriented business license for one year from the date revocation becomes effective. If, subsequent to revocation, the Director of Public Service finds that the basis for the revocation has been corrected or abated, the applicant may be granted a license if at least ninety days have elapsed since the date the revocation became effective. If the license was revoked under division (b)(5) of this section, an applicant may not be granted another license until the appropriate number of years required under Section 765.05 (a)(8)B. has elapsed.
