Recommendation: Introduce SUMMARY Many of the current business license issuance, denial, revocation and appeal processes are inefficient and inconsistent with current practice; particularly with regard to timely review and issuance, and with compliance with open meeting requirements for appeal hearings. After having the City Attorney's Office review the entire business license portion of the municipal code (Article VI) the attached ordinance is proposed to primarily rectify those processes that should, or should not involve the Business Permit and License Review Board, and to change the makeup of that Board from City staff members to the City Planning Commission because many business licensing issues are also land use issues. The proposed ordinance does not address all aspects of Article VI. It is limited to addressing the duties of the Business License Officer and the Business Permit and License Review Board. Additional aspects of Article VI will be addressed in subsequent ordinance proposals. BACKGROUND Based on the annotations of amendments, the current version of Article VI was originally adopted prior to November 1, 1960 and provides for much of the business permitting and licensing to be processed through the City Council. Amendments have reassigned many, but not all of those duties to the Business License Officer. The primary task of the City Council with regard to business licenses and permits should be the final arbiter of appeals, but there are many instances where the processes have not been formally amended. Other parts of Article VI call for certain types of permits and licenses to be reviewed by the Business Permit and License Review Board that is comprised of three City staff members: The Fire Chief or designee, the Administrative Services Director or designee, and the Public Works Services Director or designee, with the Development Services Director or designee serving as secretary. It appears, based on the language in many sections of Article VI, that the Business Permit and License Review Board is to provide technical advice to the Business License Officer with regard to whether an application should be approved, conditionally approved, or denied. Current practice along with the numerous other regulations and standards established by other agencies, as well as the City, renders the review of applications by the Business Permit and License Review Board redundant and serves only to delay the issuance of the licenses and permits. The other function of the Business Permit and License Review Board is to serve as an advisory body to the City Council on appeals of business permit and license denials, revocations and suspensions. Such appeals are currently first heard by the Business Permit and License Review Board, which then transmits its findings to the City Council, which holds another hearing on the appeals. It appears that this current process was intended to have technical advice made available to the City Council before the Council held its hearing on the appeal. The current process of having appeals first heard by the Business Permit and License Review Board is redundant. Any relevant technical advice is currently provided to the City Council in the agenda staff reports, and City staff is available at the hearings/meetings to provide additional information or to answer questions. Furthermore, if there is to be a hearing on appeals prior to a hearing by the City Council, the initial hearing should be held by a body of citizens and not City staff. The proposed ordinance designates the City Planning Commission as the Business Permit and License Review Board, and establishes the Commission as the first arbiter of appeals with appeals of the Commission's decision to be taken to the City Council, similar to all other land use cases. DISCUSSION Ordinance No. 2263 updates the procedures and standards for the application, review, investigation, issuance, denial, suspension or revocation, appeal, and reinstatement of business licenses and permits. There are 98 amendments proposed by Ordinance No. 2263 that can be grouped into three broad categories: 1) The first seven amendments are organizational. They clarify the term, Business License Officer, designate the Planning Commission as the Business Permit and License Review Board, and establish the Officer's and Board's duties and standards. Amendment numbers eight through 39 are procedural for business licenses. They update the procedures and standards for business license applications, submittals, review and investigation, issuance, refunds, denial, suspension or revocation, appeals, and reinstatements. Amendment numbers 40 through 98 update the procedures and requirements for specific types of businesses that are required to be licensed or permitted. Ord. 2263 November 17, 2009 Page 2 of 3 Listed on Attachment 'A' are the 98 Sections in Ordinance No. 2263 and the corresponding 98 Sections of the Municipal Code that are to be amended. Also attached are color -coded versions that detail these amendments. The amendments modemize the process, provide consistent and fair appeal procedures, and clearly outline the duties and responsibilities of both private businesses and the Business License Office. Also, the restructuring of the Business Permit and License Review Board is important in that it relieves City staff of the awkward process of presenting a case for denial, revocation or appeal to other City staff. By designating the City Planning Commission as the Business Permit and License Review Board, such applicants or appellants will have the same due process that is afforded to others in Arcadia on land use related cases. FISCAL IMPACT There will be no significant fiscal impact as a result of these amendments. The only change would be the fees collected for the processing of appeals of business license revocations. CEQA With regard to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) this Ordinance does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment and is thereby exempt per Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 2263: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARCADIA, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING ARTICLE VI (BUSINESSES, PROFESSIONS, TRADES AND OCCUPATIONS) OF THE ARCADIA MUNICIPAL CODE CONCERNING THE BUSINESS PERMIT AND LICENSE REVIEW BOARD.

There shall be no automatic reinstatement of a revoked business license and the City is under no obligation to grant the new application. If either the final determination of the City Council, the Board, or the Administrative Law Judge in suspending a license contains a provision that no new license may be requested by the holder of the revoked license for a certain, specified amount of time, a new license may not be requested during that amount of time by the holder of the suspended license or by his or her employee, agent, partner, director, officer, controlling stockholder or manager, for any business or location within the city or by any other person for the same business on the same premises where the business covered by the suspended license was conducted or for the same business on a different premises within the City.
