A. Any permit issued for an adult-related establishment may be revoked or suspended by the city manager, after a hearing, in any case where any of the provisions of this chapter are violated, when the permittee, operator, or any employee of the permittee or operator, including an escort or figure model, has engaged in conduct which violates any state law or city ordinance at the adult-related establishment and the operator or permittee knew or, with the exercise of reasonable diligence should have known of such violations at the time they occurred, or in any case, where the operator refuses to permit any duly authorized city police officer or health inspector of the county to inspect the premises or the operations therein during the hours such premises are open for business. Such permit may also be revoked or suspended after hearing when such business is being managed, conducted or maintained without regard for the public health or health of patrons or customers or without due regard to proper sanitation and hygiene.
B. The city manager shall hold a public hearing prior to the revocation or suspension of any permit under subsection A of this section. The permittee shall be given at least ten (10) days notice in writing of such hearing, which notice shall contain a brief statement of the grounds to be relied upon for suspending or revoking the permit.
C. The decision of the city manager shall be in writing and shall be mailed postage prepaid to the permittee. (Ord. 2021-0016 § 12; prior code § 28.06.076)
