(A) Any license issued according to this chapter may be revoked by the City Clerk for the following reasons:
(1) Upon the investigation, recommendation, and approval of the Chief of Police, or his or her representative, for any violation of this chapter by the licensee;
(2) The licensee is no longer able to satisfy the requirements to obtain a license, or the term of a license suspension has ended without correction of the underlying violation for which the suspension was imposed;
(3) The license has been suspended three times; or
(4) Due to misrepresentation or withholding of information during the original license application process or the renewal process.
(B) Notice of revocation may be given by delivery to the licensee, by delivery to the establishment, or by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the licensee at the address stated on the license application. If the notice is mailed, it shall be deemed delivered upon deposit of the notice in the United States mail.
(C) The revocation shall be effective ten days after written notice delivered to the licensee. The notice of revocation shall include the same information required elsewhere in this chapter for informing an applicant that a license application has been denied.
(D) An appeal of any revocation shall automatically stay the revocation pending the outcome of the appeal. However, the license may remain suspended during that time, in accordance with the preceding section.
(E) Following the determination of an appeal or if an appeal is not taken, the licensee shall return all copies of the license to the City Clerk, and the Chief of Police may take possession of the license wherever it may be found.
