Title
A substitute ordinance relating to the maximum period of time allowed for common council approval of certain public entertainment premises license applications.
Sections
108-5-1-b am
Analysis
Currently, the code requires the common council to approve every public entertainment premises license application within 60 days after the city clerk certifies that the application is complete, unless the application is denied in writing by the common council following a licensing committee hearing conducted in accordance with the procedures of ch. 85 (general licensing provisions). This ordinance provides that the 60-day provision shall only apply to an application for a new public entertainment premises license or for a deviation from the type of entertainment specified on a previously-approved plan of operation. It further provides that the 60-day provision shall not apply if the application relates to a premises for which one or more other licenses subject to the licensing procedures of ch. 85 are sought or held, such as a tavern or restaurant, in which case the timeline set forth in ch. 85 applies.
