§ 18-105. Causes for mandatory denial of license.

(a)

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

(1)

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

(2)

The location has been rejected for any applicant.

(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The applicant has withdrawn, without permission of the license review board, an application at any time within seven days immediately preceding the time and date set for the hearing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 board of commissioners unless at least one year shall have expired from such withdrawal.

(4)

When any application for a license 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.

(5)

The applicant is determined to be in violation of section 18-101.

(b)

The one-year waiting period will not apply where the applicant shall apply for a new location which has not been rejected within the preceding 12 months, except if the applicant has had an application for another location rejected within the preceding 12 months because of lack of qualifications of the applicant.
