(b) Annual Police Permit Fee – Application. A permittee may submit the required police permit fee pursuant to Section 103.07 during the pendency of a proceeding to revoke or suspend the permittee’s permit. Such payment shall continue such permit in full force and effect until the entry of the final order by the Board terminating the proceedings. Failure of the Board to revoke, suspend, limit or condition the permit shall have the effect of continuing in full force said permit. (Amended by Ord. No. 137,438, Eff. 11/7/68.)

(c) Change of Location or Additional Locations – Application. A permittee may file an application for a change of location or additional locations during the pendency of a proceeding to suspend or revoke the permittee’s permit. The Board may authorize the change of location or additional locations.

(Added by Ord. No. 140,007, Eff. 2/20/70.)

The Board may place reasonable limits and/or conditions upon any permit in any of the following situations:

(a) In any proceeding concerning the issuance, denial or revocation of a permit if the Board finds that grounds exist for the denial or revocation of the permit which grounds may be removed by the imposition of such limitations or conditions.

(b) In any proceeding concerning the suspension or revocation of a permit, if findings are made which would justify such suspension or revocation, and where the imposition of such limitations or conditions are reasonably related to such findings. In the case of a suspension, the conditions may be in lieu of or in addition to such suspension.

(c) Where, after proceedings to suspend or revoke a permit, the Board issues an order suspending or revoking only a portion of the activities to be exercised under such permit.

(d) In any proceeding concerning the issuance, denial or revocation of a permit, if the Board finds the imposition of such limitations or conditions is necessary for the public welfare.

(Added by Ord. No. 140,008, Eff. 2/20/70.)

The limitations and/or conditions authorized by Section 103.40.1 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code may cover any matter relating to the activities to be exercised under the permit, the conduct of the business or the condition of the premises, which will protect the public welfare including but not limited to the following:

(a) Restrictions as to hours during which the permitted activity may occur.

(b) The employment of designated persons including the number and the manner in which said persons are to be employed.

(c) Necessary sanitary facilities.

(d) Necessary parking facilities.

(e) Minimum seating and/or audience capacity.

(f) The manner and time within which the public is to pay in order to gain access to the permitted activity.

(g) Where the Board has determined that the cost of City services incident to the staging of the permitted activity will be increased because of the permitted activity, the Board may require the permittee to make

payment into the general fund of the City of Los Angeles of an amount equal to the increased cost for the City Services.

(h) Where the Board determines there is a substantial danger of injury or damage to the public and/or property because of the permitted activity, the Board may require a policy of insurance naming the City of

Los Angeles as an additional insured together with its agents, servants and employees as a co-insured and/or bond to cover the damage and/or injury which may occur. The amounts of the insurance and/or bond, if any, and type of coverage, are to be determined by the Board after it has determined the nature and extent of probable danger of injury or damage to the public.
