in effect4.04.025 - Temporary license—Privileged business.
A. An applicant for a privileged license may request a temporary business license, pending final action regarding a license application to determine the applicant's suitability for a license as provided under section 4.04.040 of this chapter. The director is authorized to issue a temporary license under the following conditions:
1. The applicant has filed a temporary license request with the division;
2. The applicant has filed a complete and accurate business license application with the division;
3. The applicant has submitted a complete and accurate background investigation questionnaire, and provided a full set of the applicant's fingerprints, to the police department;
4. The applicant has paid a non-refundable temporary license processing fee in the amount of $400.00, in addition to all other required application and investigation fees;
5. The premises within or the location at which the applicant's business is to be conducted has been inspected and city departments have been consulted with respect to all applicable zoning, building and construction requirements;
6. All health and safety requirements of concurrent government regulatory agencies have been met; and
7. The director makes a preliminary finding that the applicant, including all of the principals of the business, is suitable.
B. A temporary business license may be issued to an applicant to engage in the specific business activity described in the application, at the location identified in the application, for a period not to exceed 120 days or until a final decision has been made by the director granting or denying a business license, whichever comes first. During the temporary business license period, an applicant, principal, licensee, and their employees and other persons acting on their behalf, shall comply with all of the requirements or conditions imposed upon the license by this Code or by agencies of the state or county, as the case may be, or resulting from inspections by departments of the city.
C. Prior to the expiration of the temporary license period under subsection 4.04.025(B), the temporary license may be extended by the city council for an additional period not to exceed 120 days. When granting an extension on a temporary license, the council may impose any special conditions and restrictions on the applicant it deems appropriate.
D. During any period in which a temporary license is in effect or extended, the director will suspend a temporary license if it is discovered that there is reasonable cause to believe one or more of the grounds for denial identified in subsection 4.04.150(A), including a determination of a lack of suitability for the license, is found to exist. The director may issue a stop work order to stop the continued operation of the business.
E. In the event the director suspends a temporary license, the applicant may appeal the director's decision to the chief financial officer of the city as provided under section 4.04.210 of this chapter.
