A. The city may revoke a license if a cause of suspension in section 3-3-9 of this chapter occurs and the license has been suspended within the preceding twelve (12) months.
B. The city may revoke a license if it determines that:
1. A licensee gave false or misleading information in the material submitted during the application process;
2. A licensee has knowingly allowed possession, use, or sale of controlled substances on the premises;
3. A licensee has knowingly allowed prostitution or solicitation therefor on the premises;
4. A licensee knowingly operated the sexually oriented business during a period of time when the licensee's license was suspended;
5. Except in the case of an adult motel, a licensee has knowingly allowed any act of sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation, masturbation, or other sex act to occur in or on the licensed premises; or
6. A licensee is delinquent in payment to the city, county, or state for any taxes or fees past due.
C. When the city 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 the 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 license if at least ninety one (91) days have elapsed since the date the revocation became effective.
D. After denial of an application, or denial of a renewal of an application, or suspension or revocation of any license, the applicant or licensee may seek prompt review of such administrative action before the Rathdrum city council at the next meeting at which such matter can be accommodated.
