u (b) Action. The city administrator or designee may either approve or deny the license, or may delay action for such reasonable period of time to permit the city to complete any investigation of the application or the applicant deemed necessary. If the city administrator or designee approves the license, a license shall be issued to the applicant. If the city administrator or designee denies the application, a notice of denial shall be sent to the applicant at the business address provided in the application along with the reasons for the denial, and information regarding the appeal process set forth in chapter 38, article II of this Code. (c) Background Checks. Applicants must submit to background checks as provided in section 38-39. (d) Mistake. If a license is mistakenly issued or renewed to an applicant or licensee, it shall be revoked by the city administrator or designee upon the discovery that the person, applicant, or licensee was ineligible for the license under this section. (e) Term. All licenses are issued for a period of one year. All licenses shall expire on December 31. (f) Transfers. All licenses issued under this section shall be valid only on the premises for which the license was issued and only for the person to whom the license was issued. No transfer of any license to another location or person shall be valid. Relocation or sale of the business shall require the approval and issuance of a new license Transfer of 25 percent or more of the ownership interest of a business entity, or of a controlling interest of it, whichever is less, will be deemed a sale of the business. If the licensee is a business entity that is wholly owned by another entity, the same provisions about the transfer of ownership or a controlling interest will apply to the parent entity and any second parent entity that wholly owns the parent entity. A sale of the business as defined in this section without the approval and issuance of a new license shall result in the unlicensed sale of Cannabinoid Products. Transfer of this amount of ownership interest without prior approval by the city administrator or designee is a ground for revocation or suspension of the license. In addition, each day the licensee operates under the license after a transfer has taken place without obtaining approval from the city administrator or designee will be a separate violation of this article. (g) Renewals. The renewal of a license under this section shall be handled in the same manner as the original application. The request for renewal shall be made at least thirty (30) days but no more than sixty (60) days before the expiration of the current license. The issuance of a license under this chapter shall be considered a privilege and not an absolute right of the applicant and shall not entitle the licensee to an automatic renewal of the license. If the city administrator or designee denies the renewal, a notice of denial shall be sent to the applicant at the business address provided on the application along with the reasons for the denial, and information regarding the appeal process set forth in chapter 38, article II of this Code. 223852v9
