§ 6-40-5. Standards of issuance.

The city attorney or designee shall issue a permit under this article when he or she finds:

A.

That the applicant's application for a permit has been properly submitted;

B.

That the applicant has not been convicted of a felony or any offense relating to theft of goods within five years next preceding the filing of the application;

C.

That the operation as proposed by the applicant, if permitted, would comply with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to the city's building, zoning and health regulations;

D.

That the applicant has not knowingly made any false, misleading or fraudulent statement of fact in the permit application or in any document required by the city in conjunction therewith; and

E.

That the applicant has not had a similar permit or license denied, revoked or suspended for any of the above causes by the city or any other state or local agency within five years preceding the next filing of an application.

F.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a permit shall not be denied under this article solely because the applicant failed to comply with the version of the ordinance from which this chapter is derived that was adopted on third reading in December 2007, and signed by the mayor in January 2008. A material and intentional violation of this amended ordinance occurring after the effective date of this amended ordinance may be a basis for denying a permit application or renewal application.
