APPENDIX
12-50. USE OF LICENSE.
   (A)   Each license issued under this chapter shall be conspicuously displayed upon a wall of the establishment within the OPS or at the inside entrance to the OPS, including the approved layout of the OPS, unless the license is issued with a QR code that enables city personnel to scan the license and review the approved layout plans electronically. All licenses shall be made available, upon request, for inspection by any patron, police officer, or city official in order to confirm the information contained in the licenses. Within 72 hours of any change in fact, policy, or method which would alter the information provided in a license application, or on the license itself, the applicant/licensee shall notify the City Clerk of such change(s) in writing.
   (B)   It shall be a misdemeanor for any person to fraudulently make use of, to his or her own or another's benefit, a license issued to him, her, or another in accordance with this division.
   (C)   It shall be a misdemeanor for any person to counterfeit or forge the license required by this division or to deface or otherwise alter a license issued under the provisions of this division.
   (D)   A license issued under this division is not transferable, separable, or divisible, and the authority conferred shall be conferred only upon the individuals named on the license. Upon sale, transfer, or relocation of the establishment, the license therefor shall be null and void unless pre-approved by the City Clerk. It shall be the duty of all owners or licensees having knowledge of the sale, transfer, or relocation of the establishment to immediately report such sale, transfer, or relocation to the City Clerk's office. The failure to do so shall result in an immediate suspension of the license. An application for transfer shall be in writing, shall contain the same information as required by this division for an initial application for a new license, and shall be accompanied by the same fee as required for an application for a new license.
   (E)   It shall be a misdemeanor for any person operating an establishment to permit or allow an employee or any person whatsoever to violate any of the terms of this division while on the premises of the establishment, and it shall be a misdemeanor for any person at a licensed establishment to condone or allow any unlawful activity to occur on the licensed premises, whether within or outside the actual licensed building or the OPS.
   (F)   The hours of operation of an OPS shall be consistent with the hours of operation of the principal business to which it is attached, and a licensee shall be guilty of a misdemeanor if the OPS is utilized between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.
