Danville Municipal Code Part 5 Suspension, Revocation, Change and Variance

a. Notice. The Town Council may suspend or revoke a cardroom license at any time, after giving the licensee(s) reasonable notice of opportunity to be heard in defense against noticed charges.

b. Cause. Any violation of requirements in, or pursuant to, this section is cause for suspension or revocation.

c. Effect. Neither suspension nor revocation affects any fee already due or paid, nor does it extend the life of any license. A revoked license is voided, and cannot be transferred, reinstated, renewed or reissued; but a suspended license may be reinstated as a valid license upon such conditions as the Town Council may impose, in its discretion under this section, including penalty fees not exceeding ordinary fees for a new license. Such Council actions are additional to, and not a limitation on, other civil and criminal proceedings under this Code or State law.

Any cardroom work permit may be suspended or revoked, like a cardroom license under subsection 5-2.30, except that the action is by the Police Department and the cause must be a violation related to that work permit.

a. Change in Conditions. Every licensee and permittee shall promptly notify the Police Department in writing of any actual or proposed change in the conditions or restrictions applicable to his license or permit, including any change in or deviation from the requirements in or pursuant to this section when the license or permit was issued or since then.

b. Variance Allowable. Upon such notice and payment of a fee which the Police Department estimates to be required to pay for processing the matter (not exceeding the fee on a new application), the Police Department and/or Town Council shall process this as though it were an application for a new license or permit, and shall similarly respectively investigate, report, recommend, hear, and deny, modify, condition or approve it.

c. Enforcement Postponed. During the pendency of such an application, promptly made and diligently pursued, failures to comply with legal requirements or prohibitions (as to matters which are within the Police Department’s or Town Council’s discretion to impose or to grant variances from) shall not be deemed violations of this Code; but this does not extend the life of any license or permit or affect preapplication violations.
