Analysis
This ordinance creates a requirement that all convenience stores, filling stations, personal service establishments and restaurants wishing to operate between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. apply for and receive licenses from the city.  It creates a set of standards and procedures for the granting, denial, renewal, non-renewal and revocation of these licenses.  A 24-hour establishment license shall not be required of licensed class "B" alcohol beverage premises during those hours when class "B" alcohol beverage premises are permitted to be open.  The annual fee for a 24-hour establishment license shall be $190.
Section 295-201-451 of the code of ordinances defines a personal service establishment as: "…an establishment providing services which are of a recurring and personal nature to individuals. This term includes, but is not limited to, a barber shop, beauty salon, shoe repair shop, seamstress, tailor, fortune teller, tanning salon, massage establishment, body piercing establishment or tattoo establishment . This term does not include a portrait studio, dry cleaning establishment, laundromat, photocopy center, health club or repair shop for household items."  Further, this ordinance shall not apply to licensed massage establishments licensed pursuant to s. 75-21.
All 24-hour establishments in operation as of the effective date of this ordinance shall be required to comply with its provisions no later than May 1, 2004.
Further, this ordinance deletes certain provisions of the zoning code that regulate the hours of operation of convenience stores, filling stations, personal service establishments and restaurants as a matter of use.
Body
The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:
Part 1.  Section 81-129.7 of the code is created to read:
81-129.7.  Twenty-four-hour Establishments.
1.  Each 24-hour establishment license shall be issued for a period of one year beginning on May 1 and ending on the following April 30.
2.  The fee for each license shall be $190.
3.  If an applicant is not granted a license, a portion of the license fee shall be returned to the applicant in the amount of $50 upon the surrender of the deposit receipt certified by the city clerk, provided that the certified deposit receipt is surrendered no later than one year after the date of license denial.
4.  License renewal applications shall be filed no later than March 1.  There shall be an additional fee for the filing of a late renewal application in the amount of $35.
 
(See s. 84-7.)
 
Part 2.  Section 84-7 of the code is created to read:
84-7.  Twenty-four-hour Establishments.
1.  FINDINGS.  The common council finds that certain businesses, when open in the early morning hours, have a tendency to become attractive nuisances, generating noise, congregations of people, traffic congestion and litter, and may provide an environment in which other offenses can occur.  Moreover, it is the experience of the city of Milwaukee that these businesses - convenience stores, filling stations, personal service establishments and restaurants - when open between the hours of 12 a.m. and 5 a.m., if unregulated, threaten to place an inordinate burden on the public safety resources of the city and its taxpayers.  This section is enacted pursuant to the common council's authority to provide for the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the city of Milwaukee.
2.  DEFINITIONS.  In this section:
a.  "Convenience store" shall have the meaning set forth in s. 68-4.3-1-a.
b.  "Filling station" shall have the meaning set forth in s. 295-201-189.
c.  "Personal service establishment" shall have the meaning set forth in s. 295-201-451, but, for the purposes of this section shall not include licensed massage establishments licensed pursuant to s. 75-21.
d.  "Restaurant" shall have the meaning set forth in both s. 295-201-499 and 501.
e.  "24-hour establishment" shall mean any convenience store, filling station, personal service establishment or restaurant open at any time between the hours of 12 a.m. and 5 a.m.
3.  LICENSE REQUIRED.  No convenience store, filling station, personal service establishment or restaurant shall be open between the hours of 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. without first applying for and receiving a license as provided in this section.
4.  EXEMPTIONS.  This section shall not apply to premises holding class "B" alcohol beverage licenses during those hours during which class "B" premises may be open.
5.  APPLICATION. a. Application for a 24-hour establishment license shall be filed with the city clerk on a form provided therefore. The application shall be signed by the applicant, if an individual, or by a duly authorized agent or officer of a corporation or limited liability corporation, and sworn to by the applicant.
b. The application shall require:

b-2. The name and address of the premise for which the license is to be granted, including the aldermanic district in which it is situated.

If one or more of the officers is a corporation, the provisions of this section pertaining to a corporate applicant shall apply to the corporate officers.
b-5. If the applicant is a partnership, the application shall set forth the name and home address of each of the partners, including limited partners, and the application shall be verified by each partner. If one or more of the partners is a corporation, the provisions of this section pertaining to a corporate applicant shall apply to the corporate partners.

If the applicant is a partnership, each partner shall be fingerprinted.  This requirement shall not apply to a person already licensed by the city when that person is renewing the license. The fingerprinting requirement shall also not apply to the officers and directors of nonprofit corporations which apply for a license, except that the fingerprinting requirement shall apply to the agent of such corporations. If a set of fingerprints is on file with the police department, an additional set shall not be required unless expressly requested by the police department for purposes of verification.
e. The building owner or applicant shall file with the license application a valid occupancy certificate issued by the commissioner of city development for the operation of the premises

Before the committee considers any such application, the applicant shall file with the city clerk a written statement setting forth the change in circumstances relating to the fitness of the location of the proposed licensed premises since the prior denial. In considering whether changed circumstances exist, the committee shall consider, among other factors:

b. Whenever an application accompanied by a written statement of changed circumstances is filed, the committee shall hold a hearing to determine if changed circumstances exist . At the hearing, testimony shall be limited to that of the applicant and the applicant's attorney with respect to demonstration of a change in circumstances. If the committee determines that the applicant has failed to demonstrate that a sufficient change in circumstances exists to justify a new hearing on the merits, the committee shall recommend that the application be denied. If the committee determines that a sufficient change in circumstances has been demonstrated to justify a new hearing on the merits, the committee shall schedule a separate hearing on whether the application should be recommended for approval or denial.

b. If there is a possibility of denial, no hearing shall be heard unless the city clerk's office has provided written notice to the applicant. The notice shall be served upon the applicant so that the applicant has at least 3 days' notice of the hearing.  The notice shall contain:
b-1. The date, time and place of the hearing.
b-2. A statement to the effect that the possibility of denial of the license application exists and the reasons for possible denial.

b-4. A statement that the applicant may be represented by an attorney of the applicant's choice at the applicant's expense, if the applicant so wishes.
c. If there is a possibility of denial, at the hearing the committee chair shall open the meeting by stating that a notice was sent and read the notice into the record unless the applicant admits notice. The chair shall advise the applicant that the applicant has an option to proceed with a due process hearing, represented by counsel, with all testimony both direct and cross-examination under oath, or that the applicant may simply make a statement to the committee.

e-1. Whether or not the applicant meets the municipal requirements.
e-2. Whether or not the applicant has been charged with or convicted of any felony, misdemeanor, municipal offense or other offense, the circumstances of which substantially relate to the licensed activity.
e-3 The appropriateness of the location and premises to be licensed. Probative evidence relating to these matters may be taken from the plan of operations submitted pursuant to sub. 5-b-10.
e-4. Whether there is an over concentration of businesses licensed under this section in the neighborhood such that the concentration will have an adverse impact upon the public health, safety and welfare of the neighborhood. Among factors to be considered in terms of impact are litter, noise and traffic.
e-5. Any other factors which reasonably relate to the public health, safety and welfare.
f. The committee may make a recommendation immediately following the hearing or at a later date. Written notice of the committee's decision will be provided if the decision is made at a later date or if the applicant was not present or represented. The committee shall forward its recommendation in writing to the common council for vote at the next meeting at which such matter will be considered.
 
11.  TRANSFER OF LICENSE OR CHANGE OF NAME.
a. No license shall be transferable whether as to licensee or location except as herein provided.
b. Every license issued under this section may be transferred from one premises to another within the city, upon payment of the fees required in s. 81-129.7-2, but no licensee shall be entitled to more than one transfer in any one license year. The application and proceedings for such transfer shall be made in the same form and manner as the original application.
c  The city clerk is authorized to change the names on 24-hour establishment licenses in such instances as death in the family, marriages and divorces where the award is by court decree; and where such name change will not transfer the license outside the family.
d.  In case of death of the licensee, the license may, in the discretion of the common council, be transferred to the executor, administrator or next of kin of the deceased licensee. In such event, the executor, administrator or next of kin of the deceased licensee shall report the death of the original licensee to the city clerk, together with the name and address of the person by whom such licensed business is to be conducted. The transfer of a license under such circumstances may be made only if it is approved by the common council and the new licensee is in full compliance with the provisions of this section.  In the case of the death or withdrawal of one or more members of a partnership to which a license has been issued, the city clerk shall upon request permit the remaining partner or partners to operate the business for the remainder of the license year.
e.  If a licensee becomes disabled, the common council may, in its discretion and upon application, transfer the license to the licensee's spouse if that spouse may hold a license pursuant to this section and complies with all requirements of this section  applicable to original applicants, except that the spouse is exempt from payment of the license fee.
f.  If any licensee becomes bankrupt or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the receiver or creditor may continue or sell said business. The transfer of a license under such circumstances may be made only if it is approved by the common council and the new licensee is in full compliance with the provisions of this section.
g.  The transfer of stock in any corporate licensee shall be reported to the city clerk within 48 hours. The transfer of corporate stock shall not require the payment of any transfer of license fee.

b.  Procedure for Non-Renewal.
b-1.  If there is a possibility that the committee will not renew a license, a motion should be entertained to hold the application in committee and instruct the city clerk to forward proper notice to the applicant, unless such proper notice has already been sent, in which case the hearing shall proceed.

c.  Hearings.  All hearings held and committee recommendations prepared pursuant to this subsection shall be conducted as set forth in sub. 14.
d.  Disqualification.  Whenever any license is denied renewal, it shall be entered on the record by the city clerk and no 24-hour establishment license shall be granted to the same person for a period of 12 months following the date of non-renewal.
e.  Surrender.  When any license is surrendered in lieu of a pending non-renewal proceeding, no 24-hour establishment license shall be granted to the same person at that same location for a period of 12 months following the date of its surrender.
13.  REVOCATION OF LICENSES.  a.  Any license issued under this section may be revoked for cause by the common council after notice to the licensee and a hearing.
b.  Revocation proceedings may be instituted by the licensing committee upon its own motion, or upon sworn written charges made and filed with the city clerk by the chief of police, the commissioner of health, the commissioner of neighborhood services or upon a sworn written complaint filed with the city clerk by any city resident.
c.  Whenever either sworn written charges or a sworn written complaint are filed with the city clerk setting forth specific charges against a licensee involving conduct taking place between 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. which would violate ordinances that are grounds for revocation of a license, the city clerk shall issue notice to the licensee. The notice shall be served upon the licensee so that the licensee has at least 3 days' notice of the hearing.  The notice shall contain:
c-1. The date, time and place of the hearing.
c-2. A statement to the effect that the possibility of revocation of the license exists and the reasons for possible revocation.
c-3. A statement that an opportunity will be given to the applicant to respond to and challenge any reason for revocation and to present witnesses under oath and to confront and cross-examine opposing witnesses under oath.
c-4. A statement that the licensee may be represented by counsel at the licensee's expense, if the licensee so wishes.
d. The licensing committee shall convene at the date and time designated in the notice for the purpose of taking evidence and making findings of fact and conclusions of law and a recommendation to the common council in connection with the proposed revocation.
e.  If the licensee appears before the committee at the time designated in the notice and denies the charges contained in the complaint, an evidentiary hearing in connection with the revocation shall be conducted by the committee at that time. If the licensee does not appear, or appears but does not deny the charges contained in the complaint, the complaint shall be taken as true and the committee shall hear the arguments of the complaints and the licensee in connection with the revocation.
f.  All hearings held and committee recommendations prepared pursuant to this subsection shall be conducted as set forth in sub 14.

Any interested  party may at any stage of the proceedings order a copy of the transcript of the record or portions thereof at his or her own expense.
