(A) All licenses issued under this subchapter shall be effective from the date of approval by the City Council. All licenses expire at midnight on December 31 of each year. An application for the renewal of an existing license shall be made prior to the expiration date of the license and shall be made in the form as the city requires. The application shall state that the information in the prior application remains true and correct, except as otherwise indicated. If, in the judgment of the City Council, good and sufficient cause is shown by the applicant for the applicant’s failure to submit a renewal application before the expiration of the existing license, the City Council may, if the other provisions of this subchapter are complied with, grant the renewal application.
(B) A license under this subchapter may not be renewed:
(1) If the City Council determines that the licensee has failed to comply with the provisions of this subchapter in preceding license years;
(2) If the licensee or, if the licensee does not manage the establishment, the manager of the licensed premises, is not a resident of the state on the date the renewal takes effect;
(3) If in the case of a partnership, the managing partner or other person who manages the establishment is not a resident of the state on the date the renewal takes effect; or
(4) If in the case of a corporation, or other organization, the manager, a proprietor, or agent in charge of the establishment is not a resident of the state on the date the renewal takes effect.
(C) The time for establishing residence in the state may for good cause be extended by the City Council.
