Analysis
Common Council File Number 030511, enacted October 14, 2003, requires that certain businesses receive a license from the city if they wish to remain open between the hours of 12 a.m. and 5 a.m. One of the prerequisites to receiving this license is a valid certificate of occupancy. This ordinance authorizes the issuance of provisional 24-hour establishment licenses to businesses that were operating as 24-hour establishments on or before October 31, 2003, but are unable to present a valid certificate of occupancy. These licenses are valid for no more than 90 days and are not renewable. In addition, before being issued, an applicant for a provisional license shall apply for a regular 24-hour establishment license and demonstrate that he or she has applied for a certificate of occupancy. The fee for a provisional license shall be $190.
This provision shall expire on November 1, 2004.
In addition, this ordinance clarifies the definition of "restaurant" to exempt the provision of room service by a hotel and the preparation and service of food inside a hospital.
