(a) A solicitor's license is subject to sections 21.101-21.117 and any additional conditions in this chapter. In addition to the grounds for denying a new or renewal license provided in sections 21.108 and 21.109 respectively, the Issuing Officer may deny a new or renewal license if the Issuing Officer determines:
(1) The applicant has been convicted of an offense requiring the applicant to register as a sex offender under Penal Code section 290 and notwithstanding the time that has elapsed since the conviction the applicant presents a threat to the safety of members of the public with whom a solicitor would likely come into contact.
(2) The applicant is addicted to any substance prohibited by the Uniform Controlled Substances Act (Health and Safety Code Section 11000 et seq.) unless the applicant is enrolled and successfully participating in a drug treatment program approved by the Court.
(b) If the applicant intends to sell or deliver any food and/or beverage item, the Issuing Officer shall not issue the applicant a solicitor's license unless the applicant has been issued a food facility permit from the County Department of Environmental Health and Quality. If the applicant intends to set up a temporary stand to sell or deliver any food and/or beverage the Issuing Officer shall not issue the applicant a solicitor's license until the applicant has also obtained clearance from the County Department of Planning and Development Services that the temporary food stand is not prohibited by County zoning regulations.
