Section 5.20.250 License--Application--Referral to City Council, Discretion in denying.

Upon receiving a written request to consider approval of a license application under the provisions of this chapter, the City Council shall act upon such request within twenty (20) calendar days from the time the request was received by the City Manager. The City Council, with or without a hearing, may refuse to grant any license applied for under this chapter, when in its opinion, it is necessary for the protection of public health, safety, welfare, peace or morals, and in no case need any cause be stated. The acts of the Council in denying any license shall not be subject to any review whatsoever, except in the cases in which such action has been procured by fraud. In any case where a license is so denied, no application may be filed with the City License Clerk by the same applicant at the same location for a period of six (6) months from the time of denial. For the purpose of this chapter, the City Council may, in its discretion, distinguish between classes of licenses in determining proximity, both to location and as to influence upon the public health, safety, welfare, peace or morals.
