§ 5.69.070. Temporary permit.

A.

Whenever there is a change of ownership where the previous owner had a valid permit, or where a new permit, not involving adult entertainment as defined in Title 21 hereof, is applied for, the Business License Section may issue a temporary amusement permit to the new owner, subject to the following conditions:

1.

The new owner must apply for a temporary permit on forms provided by the City. The application may be approved if it is verified that the records of the Police, Fire and Health Departments indicate no public nuisance has been maintained at the location during the past twelve (12) months before the application date.

2.

No temporary permit shall be issued unless the applicant has also applied for a regular permit for the same location.

3.

A temporary permit shall automatically expire one hundred twenty (120) days from date of issuance or when an application for a regular permit is approved or denied by the City Council; whichever occurs first. A temporary permit may be revoked pursuant to Chapter 5.06 of this Title 5;

4.

The applicant shall at all times during operation under the temporary permit comply with any conditions imposed by the Chief of Police or other City departments. At the time a temporary permit is issued, the applicant shall agree to comply with all temporary operating conditions assigned. The applicant shall also agree to hold the City harmless for liability/damages arising from any contractual agreements or investments made which assume the eventual issuance of an unrestricted permit; and

5.

A nonrefundable fee, as set by City Council resolution, shall be paid to the City when the application for a temporary permit is filed.
