(A) Premises license. A licensed operator shall annually apply to renew a premises license by filing notice with the Township Clerk between October 1 and October 31 of any calendar year preceding the calendar year for which said license is to be renewed. The notice shall be accompanied by payment of that part of the annual fee as provided in § 101.07(B)(1) (and, if applicable, § 101.07(B)(2)) of this chapter and by a written statement signed by the applicant setting forth, in detail, all facts and information necessary to satisfy the requirements of § 101.03 to the extent that such facts and information were not included in or with or have changed since the initial application of the applicant for the same premises.
(B) Objections. An objection to the renewal of any license shall be filed with the Township Clerk. Every objection shall be in writing and signed by the person making the objection, showing legibly his or her full name and residential address. A hearing on each such objection to renewal, filed no later than November 10, shall be held as the Township Committee shall direct and in accordance with § 101.05(B). Absent such a written timely objection, a license renewal application may be processed administratively without hearing upon the vote of the Township Committee to waive a hearing.
(C) Hearings. Hearings shall be conducted in accordance with § 101.05. A licensed operator shall be entitled to continue the operation of the licensed premises until decision on the application.
(D) Committee may refuse to renew a license issued pursuant to this chapter, after a hearing upon notice, only in the event that the applicant:
(1) Shall engage in or permit any unlawful conduct in, on or about the establishment, building, structure, premises or place to which such license applies;
(2) Shall conduct the business or commercial enterprise for which such license shall have been issued, or shall use or occupy or permit to be used or occupied the establishment, building, structure, premises or place to which such license applied, in such manner as to create any public or private nuisance;
(3) Shall permit the establishment, building, structure, premises or place to which such license applies to be or become, wholly or in part, unsanitary or unsafe for persons lawfully entering and making use of the same or any part thereof; or
(4) Any of the information contained in the application for renewal is materially false.
