In the event that a city official is required to take an act or do a thing pursuant to this chapter within a prescribed time, and fails to take such act or do such thing within the time prescribed, said failure shall not prevent the exercise of constitutional rights of an applicant or licensee. If the act required of the city official under this chapter, and not completed in the time prescribed, includes approval of condition(s) necessary for approval by the city of an applicant or licensee’s application for a sexually-oriented business license or a sexually-oriented business employee’s license (including a renewal), the license shall be deemed granted and the business or employee allowed to commence operation or employment the day after the deadline for the city’s action has passed.
