Provided that there is no danger to the public health and safety, and further provided that a temporary or permanent occupancy permit has been issued to a particular business for a particular location within the village, a temporary business license may also be issued in accordance with procedures established herein and any applicable administrative regulations of the village. A temporary or permanent occupancy permit does not permit the operation of any business required to have a business license under the provisions of this chapter. A person seeking a temporary business license must apply in writing to the Assistant Village Manager setting forth with specificity the reasons why a temporary business license should be issued, and the hardship or other conditions which justify such issuance. No temporary business license shall be issued hereunder for a period in excess of 45 days. It is the intent of this provision that a temporary business license may, under appropriate circumstances, be issued, but that temporary licenses will only be issued where the deficiencies in the application are minor in nature and can be rectified within a set timetable. The Assistant Village Manager shall be empowered to establish necessary conditions to make certain that before the expiration of the temporary business license the applicant shall be in a position to fully comply with the provisions of this chapter and all other applicable ordinances, rules and regulations of the village. The Assistant Village Manager in granting a temporary business license shall specifically indicate in writing the length of time for which such license is applicable. It shall be the responsibility of the recipient of the temporary business license to rectify all deficiencies prior to the expiration of said temporary business license, and the failure to do so may constitute sufficient grounds to deny issuance of a permanent business license. Any temporary business license shall be presented to the Chair of the Licensing Committee prior to issuance.
