§ 18-85. General qualifications of applicant.

No license for an adult entertainment establishment provided for by this article shall be issued to or held by:

(1)

Any applicant who has not paid all required fees and taxes for a business at that location.

(2)

Any person or business entity who is not of good moral character as defined in this article, is not qualified to hold and conduct business according to the laws of the United States, State of Georgia or Fulton County, or who has had any license for an adult entertainment establishment or for the sale of alcoholic beverages in Fulton County or any other state or political subdivision thereof previously suspended or revoked.

(3)

Any applicant whose license had been rejected or withdrawn without permission of the board of commissioners within seven days immediately preceding the date set for the hearing before the board, unless at least one year shall have expired from such rejection or withdrawal of said application. This requirement shall not apply where the applicant applies for a new location that had not been rejected or withdrawn within the one-year period.

(4)

Any applicant where there is evidence that, even though there is compliance with the minimum distance requirements as set forth in the Zoning Resolution, the type and number of schools or churches or other such facilities in the vicinity of the adult entertainment establishment causes minors to frequent the immediate area.

(5)

Any applicant if applicant is a previous holder of any license under this article or of an alcoholic beverage license, the manner in which the applicant conducted the business thereunder as to the necessity for unusual police observation and inspection in order to prevent the violation of any law, regulation or ordinance relating to such business;

(6)

An applicant if the applicant's spouse could not meet the qualifications of an applicant, particularly if it appears that the applicant's spouse or another person is using the applicant as a guise or "dummy" to obtain a license.
