A. No person shall operate or suffer or allow the operation of a payday lending establishment until such time as a zoning code verification certificate has been duly applied for and issued by the director pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 20.100 of this title applicable to zoning code verification certificates, which zoning code verification certificate confirms full conformance of a proposed payday lending establishment with all of the applicable locational siting and licensing requirements of this title. The application for such zoning code verification certificate shall be filed pursuant to the requirements and processes set forth in Chapter 20.100 applicable to zoning code verification certificates. B. A person intending to commence operation of a payday lending establishment at the same location occupied or previously occupied by a legally operating payday lending establishment may be issued a zoning code verification certificate without full conformance with the locational siting requirements of this title, so long as the prior payday lending establishment use has not been discontinued or abandoned for a period of six months or more.
