A. Renewal application. A licensee or franchisee that desires to renew its license or franchise hereunder shall, not more than one hundred eighty days nor less than one hundred twenty days before expiration of the current license or franchise, file an application with the city for renewal of its license or franchise.

B. Renewal determination. Within ninety days after receiving an application hereunder, the city manager shall make a determination on behalf of the city granting or denying the renewal application in whole or in part. If the renewal application is denied, the determination shall include the reasons for non-renewal. The criteria enumerated in this chapter shall apply when determining whether to grant or deny the application, and the city may further consider the applicant’s compliance with the requirements of this chapter and the license or franchise agreement.

C. Obligation to cure as a condition of renewal. No license or franchise shall be renewed until any on-going violations or defaults in the licensee’s or franchisee’s performance of the license or franchise agreement, of the requirements of this chapter, and all applicable laws, statutes, codes, ordinances, rules and regulations, have been cured or a plan detailing the corrective action to be taken by the licensee or franchisee has been approved by the city manager. Failure to comply with the terms of an approved plan shall be grounds for non-renewal or revocation of the license or franchise. (Ord. 1114 §1, 1999).
