(c) The business license administrator shall investigate and process an application for renewal of a massage establishment license in the same manner as an initial application for a massage establishment license. Within 60 days of receiving a complete application, the business license administrator shall issue the massage establishment license unless grounds for denial identified in this article exist.

(d) With respect to any application for renewal which is filed on or before the date of expiration of the immediately preceding license, the business license administrator shall extend the term of the immediately preceding license, without charge, during the period of any investigation required in order to determine whether the license should be renewed.

(e) In addition to any other remedy available to the city under applicable law, a massage business license shall not be issued for renewal unless and until all due and unpaid administrative citations issued to the applicant or business owner for violations of this article are paid in full and all outstanding violations of the municipal code have been corrected to the satisfaction of the chief of police or his/her designee and business license administrator.
