TITLE
Recommendation to refer to hearing officer the appeal of business license revocations by 2706 South Street, LLC, dba Ajas, located at 2706 South Street. (District 9)
DISCUSSION
On June 17, 200B, the Long Beach Chief of Police recommended that the Department of Financial Management revoke the business licenses issued to the 2706 South Street, LLC, dba Ajas, located at 2706 South Street (Attachment A). The business violated the Long Beach Municipal Code (LBMC), state law, conditions attendant to the licenses, and demonstrated a pattern of unabated activity creating serious nuisance conditions.
A business license revocation hearing was conducted in compliance with LBMC Section 3.B0.429.1 on September 10th, 16th and October 30, 200B. On December 1, 200B, the hearing officer recommended the Director of Financial Management revoke business license numbers BU2040B690, BU2040B700 and BU20406050 (Attachment B).
Pursuant to LBMC Section 3.B0.429.5, a licensee can appeal the revocation of a business license to the City Council. The licensee lodged its written request for appeal on December 19, 200B (Attachment C). Whenever it is provided that a hearing shall be heard by the City Council, the City Council may, in its discretion, conduct the hearing itself or refer it to a hearing officer.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney, Cristyl Meyers on December 22, 200B.
