C. When the City Council revokes a permit, the revocation shall continue for one (1) year and the permittee shall not be issued a sexually oriented business permit for one (1) year from the date revocation became effective. If, subsequent to revocation, the City Council finds that the basis for revocation under Section 3-6-6
of this Chapter has been corrected, the applicant shall be granted a permit if at least ninety (90) days have elapsed since the date revocation became effective. If the permit was revoked under Section 3-6-6
of this Chapter, an applicant may not be granted another permit until the number of years required under Section 3-6-6
have elapsed. (Ord. 2019-607, 8-15-2019)
