Any permit issued pursuant to this article may be revoked by Council upon its finding, after a public hearing as provided in subsection (c)(2) hereof, that the permittee has failed, neglected or refused to perform, comply with and abide by any of the conditions and provisions of this article.
(a) Notice of Intention to Revoke Permit. Proceedings before Council for the revocation of any permit issued pursuant to this article may be instituted by the City Manager causing to be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises covered by the permit, readable from the ground level, a notice entitled "Notice of Intention to Revoke Permit" and causing a copy thereof to be mailed, postage prepaid, to the permittee or his designated agent at his last known address and a copy to be filed with Council. Such notice shall set forth the date of the posting and the reasons and grounds upon which such revocation will be based, and shall require the permittee, within fifteen days after the date of posting specified therein, to cure and remedy any default, noncompliance with or violation of any condition of the permit or of this article or to show cause before Council why such permit should not be revoked.
(b) Extension of Time for Compliance. Upon application therefor by a permittee, Council may, at its discretion, extend the time for curing and remedying any claimed default, noncompliance or violation by the permittee, but no such extension of time shall be for a longer period than a total of thirty days from the service upon the permittee of "Notice of Intention to Revoke Permit".
(c) Request for Hearing.
(1) At any time prior to the expiration of the fifteen days allowed for remedying any noncompliance with the permit or this article, or any extension thereof, the permittee may file with Council a written appeal as provided in Section 725.16 hereof from the order, requirement, decision or determination of the City Manager as set forth in the notice given pursuant to subsection (a) hereof, and request a hearing thereon by Council. Failure to file a demand for such hearing within the allowed period of time or any extension thereof shall be deemed to be an admission on the part of the permittee that valid grounds exist for the revocation of the permit, unless the permittee shall have commenced with a diligent and bona fide effort to cure and remedy the default, noncompliance or violation for which notice was issued.
(2) If a hearing before Council is requested to hear an appeal pursuant to subsection (c)(l) hereof, the permit shall not be modified or revoked unless and until so ordered by Council after completion of such hearing.
