No person, firm or corporation or any agent thereof shall engage in the sale of Christmas trees in the City without first having procured a license from the Director of Finance for specific premises for a period not to exceed thirty days in any one year, unless such sale is incidental to and upon premises of an established horticultural business in the City, or unless it is a business for which an annual license has been issued by the City, which license is in full force and effect, and the sale will be conducted upon the same premises for which such annual license was issued, or unless such person, firm or corporation, or any agent thereof has been established in its business location prior to June 1 of that year, and the sale will take place upon the same premises. A separate license shall be required for each location designated by the applicant where Christmas trees and/or branches or parts thereof, or other types of Christmas decorations or trimmings are to be offered for sale. No license issued hereunder shall be transferable from one person or location to another person or location without the written approval of the Director of Finance; provided, however, that any business not annually licensed by the City and desiring to engage in the sale of Christmas trees and/or decorations, etc., shall first register with the Director of Finance as to their intention to engage in such sale and provided further that for good cause shown to his satisfaction, the Mayor may relieve any recognized church or charitable institution which is the recipient of the entire proceeds from such sale of Christmas trees and/or decorations, etc., from compliance with the license fee requirements only of this section.
