La Cañada Flintridge Municipal Code Ch. 6.16 Business Code—license Regulations

A. No person shall engage in any business for which a business license is required without having taken out the proper license as prescribed in the business code and without complying with all regulations applicable to the business.

B. This section shall not be construed to require any person to obtain a license prior to engaging in business within the city if such requirement conflicts with applicable statutes or constitutional provisions of the United States or of the state.

C. Persons not required to obtain a license prior to engaging in business within the city because of conflict with applicable statutes or constitutional provisions of the United States or of the state shall not be liable for payment of the tax imposed by this title.

(Ord. 210 § 3, 1992)

A. Any person conducting several businesses of a similar type at one location may obtain a license for the principal business and include all others therein, in which event the license tax will be based on the classification and schedule applicable to the principal business. The city clerk shall make the determination of which business is the principal, pursuant to information provided by the business owner.

B. Except as otherwise provided herein, a separate license must be obtained for each branch establishment or location of the business transacted and carried on, and for each separate type of business at the same location. Each license shall authorize the licensee to transact and carry on only the business licensed thereby at the location or in the manner designated in such license. Warehouses, storage and distributing facilities used in connection with and incidental to a business licensed under the provisions of this title are not deemed to be a separate place of business or branch establishment.

C. In the case of utility services, all locations in the city which are part of one business and whose operation is related solely to such licensed business are not deemed to be a separate place of business or branch establishment.

(Ord. 210 § 3, 1992)

Every person who operates any business, whether upon a cost, rental or commission basis, as a concession, or upon rented floor space in or upon the premises of any person licensed under any provisions of the business code shall be required to obtain a separate and independent business license.
