In the event emergency actions on a business license or license holder are necessary, the following procedures will apply:
A. Emergency orders—Grounds. The director or the chief of police may issue an emergency order which suspends or conditions a license upon a determination that:
1. There has been a violation of the provisions of this title, title 8 or title 19; and
2. Such order is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety, morals, good order or general welfare within the city.
B. Emergency orders—Content and effective date. Any emergency order issued shall:
1. Set forth the grounds upon which it is issued, including a statement of facts constituting the emergency which necessitates such order;
2. Be effective immediately upon the issuance and service thereof on the licensee or its representative or upon the licensed premises; and
3. Indicate the period of time for which it is effective, which shall be based upon the severity of the violation and the nature of the emergency as determined by the director or the chief of police.
C. Emergency orders—Appeal. A licensee who is affected by an emergency order may appeal the order by filing an appropriate action in the State of Nevada District Court to challenge or seek review of the order. Such action to appeal must be filed within ten days after the effective date of the emergency order, or the right to appeal is deemed waived. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit any statutory right of the licensee to file an ordinary or emergency petition for extraordinary writ under NRS Chapter 34.
