The City Clerk may, after thirty days' notice in writing to the permittee, revoke any permit issued by him under this article upon repayment of a proportionate part of the fee in any case where it shall appear to the City Clerk that the application for the permit contains knowingly false or misleading information, or that the permittee has violated any of the provisions of this article, unless such permittee shall, before the expiration of such thirty days, correct such false or misleading information and comply with the provisions of this article. If the construction, erection, operation, use, maintenance and display of such advertisement, advertising sign or advertising structure for which a permit is issued by the City Clerk and the permit fee has been paid as provided by this article, shall be prevented by any zoning board, commission or other public agency which also has jurisdiction over the proposed advertisement, advertising sign or advertising structure, such fee shall be returned by the City Clerk and the permit revoked, but one-half the fee shall be deemed to have accrued upon the erection of an advertising sign or advertising structure or the display of an advertisement followed by an inspection by the City Clerk or his representatives.
