(a) The City shall revoke a permit if a cause of suspension in Section 1329.09 occurs and the permit has been suspended within the preceding twelve months.
(b) The City shall revoke a permit if it determines that:
(1) A permittee gave false or misleading information in the material submitted during the application process;
(2) A permittee has knowingly allowed possession, use, or sale of controlled substances on the premises;
(3) A permittee has knowingly allowed prostitution on the premises;
(4) A permittee knowingly operated the special use business during a period of time when the permittee's permit was suspended;
(5) Except in the case of an adult motel, a permittee has knowingly allowed any act of sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation, masturbation, or other sex act to occur in or on the licensed premises; or
(6) A permittee is delinquent in payment to the City, County, or State for any taxes or fees past due.
(c) When the City revokes a permit, the revocation shall continue for one year, and the permittee shall not be issued a special use business permit for one year from the date the revocation became effective. If, subsequent to revocation, the City finds that the basis for the revocation has been corrected or abated, the applicant may be granted a permit if at least ninety days have elapsed since the date the revocation became effective.
(d) After denial of an application, or denial of a renewal of an application, or suspension or revocation of any permit, the applicant or permittee may seek prompt judicial review of such administrative action in any court of competent jurisdiction. The administrative action shall be promptly reviewed by the Court.
