A. Upon the filing of an original or renewal application for an adult entertainment business license, the city clerk shall stamp the application as received and shall send photocopies of the application to the departments or agencies responsible for the enforcement of public safety, health, fire, and building codes and laws. Each interested department or agency shall conduct an investigation of the application and the proposed adult entertainment facility within 20 calendar days of receipt of the application by the city clerk, unless circumstances support extending the investigation. If the investigation is extended, the city clerk shall inform the applicant of the extension and the reasons therefor. The extension shall not exceed 10 additional calendar days from the original expiration of the 20-day time period stated above. At the conclusion of its investigation, each interested department or agency shall recommend approval or disapproval of the application by so indicating on the photocopy of the application. After indicating its approval or disapproval, each interested department or agency shall immediately return the photocopy of the application to the city clerk. In the event the proposed adult entertainment facility is in a state of construction at the time of the inspection, then each interested department or agency shall make a preliminary determination of approval or disapproval based on the drawings submitted in the application. Any adult entertainment business license approved prior to final construction of the adult entertainment facility shall contain a condition that the adult entertainment business license shall be suspended or revoked in the event future inspections reveal the adult entertainment facility is not in compliance with applicable laws or regulations.

B. In the event an interested department or agency recommends disapproval, the department or agency recommending disapproval shall state the basis for the disapproval in writing. A department or agency shall recommend disapproval of an application if it finds that the proposed adult entertainment facility will violate any provision of any statute, code, ordinance, regulation, or other law in effect in the city. (Ord. 1698 § 3, 1997).
