A. No cardroom license shall be granted when the number of cardroom licensees in the city exceeds the ratio of one cardroom for every one hundred thousand (100,000) population of the city according to the latest population figures from the California Department of Finance; provided, however, that the maximum number of cardroom licenses which may be issued shall not exceed four.
B. The number of cardroom licenses shall be reduced whenever any cardroom license is revoked, surrendered, expires without renewal or the licensee is no longer licensed by the state of California. No current licensee whose license is hereafter revoked or surrendered, or expires without renewal shall be eligible for a new license until the number of cardroom licenses in the city is fewer than four and he or she is selected according to the procedure described in this title for selection of new licensees.
