If any owner, operator, employee, or person in control of any hotel rents, subrents, or otherwise furnishes accommodations therein to any person, it shall be unlawful for that owner, operator, employee, or person in control to rent, subrent, or otherwise furnish the same accommodations again to any person within eight (8) hours from the commencement of the previous rental.
(Ord. No. 9240, § 1, 6-21-99)
The person holding a business license issued pursuant to Chapter 19 shall be notified in writing by the police department whenever an employee of the licensee is cited for a violation of section 7-441 or section 7-442. Notice shall be given to the licensee within ten (10) days of charges being filed. The provisions of section 7-444 regarding license suspension shall not apply in the absence of such notification.
(Ord. No. 9240, § 1, 6-21-99)
(a) The business license issued pursuant to Chapter 19 entitling the licensee to operate any hotel shall be suspended for twenty-four (24) hours if the licensee or any employee of the licensee violates the provisions of section 7-441 or section 7-442 on two (2) separate dates within a twelve (12) month period.
(b) The business license issued pursuant to Chapter 19 entitling the licensee to operate any hotel shall be suspended for ten (10) days if the licensee or any employee of the licensee violates the provisions of section 7-441 or section 7-442 on four (4) separate dates within a twelve (12) month period.
(Ord. No. 9240, § 1, 6-21-99)
(a) The director of finance, upon notification by the chief of police or the city attorney that grounds for suspension exist, shall file a written petition for suspension with the City Court, requesting that a time and place be set for a hearing and specifying the grounds for suspension per section 7-443. Within five (5) days a magistrate, special magistrate or limited special magistrate shall schedule a hearing to be conducted within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the petition to suspend. The magistrate, special magistrate or limited special magistrate shall notify the parties in the manner provided in this section and shall state the grounds relied upon for the proposed suspension. Should the licensee fail to appear at the hearing, a default judgment of suspension shall be entered. A record shall be kept of all proceedings. No license shall be suspended unless grounds therefore are established by a preponderance of the evidence. The hearing shall be held in an informal manner as to the order of proceeding and presentation of evidence. The Arizona Rules of Evidence shall not apply. Any evidence offered shall be admitted subject to a determination by the magistrate, special magistrate or limited special magistrate that the offered evidence is relevant and material and has some probative value as to a fact at issue. The magistrate, special magistrate or limited special magistrate shall provide the licensee and other parties written notice of the decision within five (5) days, pursuant to subsection (b) of this section. The magistrate, special magistrate or limited special magistrate's signing of the written notice of the decision shall effect the suspension of a license. A licensee's right to operate a hotel under authority of the license shall terminate immediately upon giving or mailing to the licensee a copy of the signed decision suspending the license; except that the suspension may be stayed by the Superior Court pending a timely appeal of the decision by Special Action. Such appeal must be filed within ten (10) days after the decision to suspend is signed unless the decision is mailed, in which case the appeal must be filed no later than fifteen (15) days after entry of the decision. The appellee shall bear the cost of preparing the record of appeal. If an appeal is not timely made, the suspension becomes final.
(b) Notices required by this article shall be served by certified mail to the licensee's attorneys or to the licensee at the address as shown on the licensee's license, or by personal service.
