5.68.020: LICENSE REQUIRED:
From and after the effective date hereof, no person may use any dwelling or construct any residential rental dwelling as a boarding house for more than one household per dwelling unit without having obtained a conditional use permit as provided in section 17.02.130 of this code and having obtained the three (3) year license required pursuant to provisions of this chapter. Persons utilizing their property as a boarding house on June 1, 2003, shall have a period of thirty (30) days thereafter during which they must apply for a permit and license to continue such use, and shall have until September 1, 2003, to obtain a license. Provided, however, if the site and structure are otherwise eligible for a permit, but weather conditions render completion of the site improvements by the September deadline impossible, staff may allow a time extension, which in no case may exceed ninety (90) days from September 1, 2003, to obtain the license or cease such use. Licenses granted hereunder shall be valid for three (3) years from the date of issue and renewal requests must be received no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date. Renewal applications received less than said thirty (30) days shall be considered new applications and fees charged accordingly. A licensee must promptly report any change in information from that on the application and must also file an annual report form with the city. Failure to obtain and/or maintain a license if required hereunder shall be deemed a misdemeanor and the owner, or property manager if the owner is outside the jurisdiction, may be cited for such failure.
