(A) Each license issued under this chapter shall be conspicuously displayed upon a wall within plain view of patrons entering the banquet and event facility or accessory banquet or event use area, along with the approved layout of the facilities, except that the layout is not required if 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 article.
(C) It shall be a misdemeanor for any person to counterfeit or forge the license required by this article or to deface or otherwise alter a license issued under the provisions of this article.
(D) A license issued under this article 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 facility, the license previously issued for the facility 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 facility 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 article 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 a facility licensed under this article to permit or allow an employee or any person whatsoever to violate any of the terms of this article while on the property of the facility, and it shall be a misdemeanor for any person at a licensed facility to condone or allow any unlawful activity to occur on the licensed property, whether indoors or outside.
(F) A licensee shall be guilty of a misdemeanor if the banquet and event facility or the accessory banquet or event use is operated between the hours of 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., unless the licensee has obtained a valid after hours permit from the Michigan Liquor Control Commission allowing a later closing time.
(G) Every applicant and licensee shall notify the City Clerk in writing of any changes or modifications to (i) the information submitted in the application (whether such changes occur before or after the license has been reviewed or approved and issued), or (ii) the operational components of a nuisance mitigation plan.
