A. If an application for a business license by an entity subject to regulation under this chapter is denied, suspended or revoked, no reapplication for a license will be considered by the City until correction of any and all deficiencies on which the denial, suspension, or revocation was based.

B. In the event that a property subject to regulation under this chapter is closed by the City or any agency acting on behalf of or in coordination with the City stemming from enforcement of the provisions of this chapter or any applicable health, building, fire, housing or life-safety code, or other serious violations, it shall be a prerequisite condition for the license to be reinstated or the property to be allowed to reopen that the operator of the property reimburse the City for any transitional costs or tenant relocation costs incurred by the City that are directly attributable to such closure. For the purposes hereof, “transitional costs and/or tenant relocation costs” include but are not limited to those items set forth in RCW 59.18.085, tenant travel costs and temporary hotel vouchers or other expenses incurred to procure alternate housing following tenant displacement for a reasonable time to alleviate the impacts of displacement, whether incurred by the tenant, the City or third parties.

C. All such license application denials, suspensions or revocations shall be in writing. Appeals of actions taken under this chapter, except as provided by LMC 5.60.130 or 5.60.150, shall be governed by the provisions of Chapter 5.02 LMC. [Ord. 644 § 8, 2016.]
