A. All body art establishment and body art technician licenses shall be renewed annually by submitting a relicensing application to the city's representative at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to May 1 of each year. Whenever an inspection for renewal of a license reveals serious or repeated violations of this chapter or other provisions of this code, the license shall not be issued and the city's representative shall notify the applicant immediately thereof. Any such notice shall set forth in writing the reasons for failing or refusing to renew the license. Such notice shall also state that an opportunity for a hearing shall be provided for the applicant at a time and date designated by the city's representative. Such hearing shall be scheduled not later than ten (10) calendar days from the date of the notice. A license which expires without being renewed shall be removed from the body art establishment.
B. If the applicant for renewal of a license provides adequate documentation of a reasonable time schedule for correcting nonhealth threatening repeat violations, the city may renew the license. Failure to comply with the time schedule for corrections may result in immediate suspension of the license as provided herein. (Ord. 2009.03, 5-4-2009)
