§ 26-59. Same—Operation permits.
(a)
Operation without permit unlawful. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a recreational vehicle park within the city without a recreational vehicle park operation permit.
(b)
Issuance to new operations. Any person desiring to operate a recreational vehicle park after construction or enlargement has been completed shall, before the actual operation of the park has begun, apply to the city building official for an operation permit. The city building official or any city official or employee designated by him shall then inspect the completed facilities and, if the completed recreational vehicle park conforms in all respects to the plans and specifications as submitted with the application for the construction or enlargement permit, and the requirements of this article and other applicable ordinances, the city building official shall then issue to the operator a recreational vehicle park operation permit upon payment to the city of any and all applicable operation permit fees as may be set from time to time by resolution of the city council and kept on record by the city secretary in the offices of the city. This permit shall be valid up to and including December 31 or the year for which it was issued, unless sooner suspended, revoked or surrendered.
(c)
Renewals. All operation permits shall expire each year on December 31. Each operator of a recreational vehicle park shall make application for a renewal permit on or before November 30 of the calendar year preceding the year for which the renewal permit is to apply. If there has been no change in the facilities as reflected in the latest plans, specifications and/or plat on file with the city building official, or if any such changes are found by the building official to be in accordance with this article and all other ordinances of the city, and upon payment to the city of any and all applicable operation renewal permit fees as may be set from time to time by the resolution of city council and kept on record by the city secretary in the offices of the city, the city building official shall renew the operation permit for a period of one year, ending December 31.
(d)
Revocation and suspension of operation permits. Any recreational vehicle park operation permit granted under the provisions of this article may be suspended or revoked by the city building official after due notice to the holder of such permit for any one or more of the following reasons:
(1)
Failure to keep accurate check-in and check-out records.
(2)
Operating the facilities in a manner contrary to the plans, specifications and/or plat on file with the city building official.
(3)
Operating the facility in violation of the rules, regulations, ordinances, or laws of the city, the state or the United States.
(e)
Reinstatement. Where an operation permit has been suspended, the same may be reinstated for the remaining period of time for which it was originally issued after the cause for suspension has been corrected and upon the payment of applicable reinstatement fees.
