§ 6-118. Previous denials of license.

No license shall be issued to an applicant if within 12 months immediately preceding the filing of an application any of the following occurred:

(1)

The same applicant for a license, transfer or renewal had been rejected for any location, if such rejection was based upon the applicant's failure to meet the terms of the ordinance applicable to the applicant, as opposed to rejection for reasons related to the location itself.

(2)

The location has been rejected.

(3)

The applicant has withdrawn, without permission of the license review board, an application at any time within seven days immediately preceding the time and date set for the hearing before the license review board.

(4)

When any application for a permit to transact any business within the control of the police powers is denied for cause or any license is revoked for cause by the board of commissioners.

The one-year waiting period will not apply where the applicant shall apply for a new location that has not been rejected within the past year.
