§ 5-8.203. Permit denial and renewal.

The Chief of Police shall deny the application for any of the following reasons:

(a)

The applicant or his or her employee, agent, partner, director, officer, shareholder or manager has knowingly made any false, misleading or fraudulent statement of material fact in the application for a sexually oriented business regulatory permit. A material fact is one which if disclosed could have resulted in the denial of the permit.

(b)

An applicant is under twenty-one (21) years of age.

(c)

The required application fee has not been paid.

(d)

The sexually oriented business does not comply with the zoning and locational requirements contained in the Simi Valley Municipal Code.

(e)

The sexually oriented business is located completely or partially within any mobile structure or pushcart.

(f)

The application or the applicant does not meet all of the development and performance standards and requirements of Section 5-8.301.

(g)

Any applicant or owner has been convicted of any of the offenses enumerated in Section 5-8.205(d)(5) herein. A permit shall, nevertheless, be issued to any person convicted of the described crimes if the conviction occurred more than five years prior to the date of the application.

Each sexually oriented business regulatory permit shall expire one year from the date of issuance, and may be renewed only by filing with the Chief of Police a written request for renewal, accompanied by the application fee, a copy of the permit to be renewed, and any change in information provided in the original application. The request for renewal shall be made at least thirty (30) days before the expiration date of the permit. If the request for renewal is made no less than thirty (30) days before the expiration date of the permit, the expiration of the permit will be stayed. When made less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date, the expiration of the permit will not be stayed. Applications for renewal shall be acted on as provided herein for action upon applications for permits.
