(4) Each licensee has the continuing duty to properly notify the city clerk of a change in the information or facts required to be furnished on the application for a license. This duty continues throughout the period of the license. Failure to notify the city may be grounds for denial or revocation. (c) Where a reasonable basis is found by the council to impose reasonable restrictions on the license, taking into consideration one or more of the facts or circumstances, the council may upon issuance or renewal of a license impose such reasonable conditions and restrictions on the manner and circumstances under which the licensed activity shall be conducted to preserve the public peace and protect and promote good order and security. • Sec. 38 -454. No Transfers (a) All licenses issued under this division 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. (b) 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. (c) 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 tobacco, tobacco products, and tobacco related devices. Transfer of this amount of ownership interest without prior Council approval 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 obta-ning Council approval will be a separate violation of this ordinance. (d) In the case of the death of a licensee, the personal representative of a licensee may continue ioperation of the business for not more than 90 days after the licensee's death.
