(E) An application for an adult business permit shall be denied for any of the following reasons:
(1) If the applicant is an individual under 18 years of age.
(2) The applicant has failed to provide information required by the permit application or has provided false information in the application.
(3) The application and annual permit fees have not been paid.
(4) The applicant is in violation of, or is not in compliance with, any of the provisions of this subchapter, including but not limited to the locational requirements for an adult business set out in § 156.782.

(F) If a person applies for a permit or renewal of a permit for a particular location within one year from the date of denial of a previous application for a permit or renewal of a permit at the same location, and there has not been a change in circumstances that could reasonably be expected to lead to a different decision regarding the reasons for the previous denial, the application shall be denied.
(G) The fact that an applicant possesses other types of state or city permits or licenses (including but not limited to a business license, a special use permit, a massage permit, an arcade permit, a dance permit or any entertainment permit) does not exempt the applicant from the requirement of obtaining an adult business permit.
