Alameda Municipal Code § 21-22 Permit Revocation

a. Conditions. A permit shall be revoked by the Public Works Director if:

1. There is a change of ownership of more than twenty (20%) percent (other than to a person that already owns an equity or ownership interest in permittee) or management control of permittee, unless approval therefore has been obtained in writing from the City Manager; or,

2. The permittee has not complied with the provisions of this chapter or other applicable statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations.

b. Procedure. The Public Works Director shall have authority to hear complaints against any person representing or employed by the permittee, receive complaints of discourteous, insolent or threatening conduct; violation of any sanitary regulations; or violations of this article by the permittee and may revoke a permit if the conditions of this subsection for revocation are proven after hearing under this section.

c. Notice and Appeal. The Public Works Director shall notify the permittee in writing of any revocation or of any finding of noncompliance. If the Public Works Director finds a permittee out of compliance but does not order revocation of the permit, they shall order the permittee to come into compliance within thirty (30) days. Any determination by the Public Works Director under this subsection 21-22.1 may be appealed pursuant to subsection 21-21.7.

(Ord. No. 3310 N.S., § 2, 11-16-2021)

Prior to ordering compliance or revoking a permit under subsection 21-22.1, the Public Works Director shall notify the permittee in writing of the alleged noncompliance or basis for revocation and of the time and place for a hearing on those allegations. After affording the permittee reasonable opportunity to respond to the allegations, the Public Works Director shall determine on the basis of available evidence whether or not the permittee is in compliance with this chapter and, if not, whether revocation of the permit is appropriate. If the Public Works Director only orders the permittee to correct the noncompliance, and the permittee fails to do so within thirty (30) days of written notice, after further hearing, the Public Works Director may revoke the permit pursuant to subsection 21-22.1 or take such other action as they shall reasonably determine.
