a renewal application form, along with payment of the renewal fee and submission of a
certificate of insurance establishing that the applicant has procured appropriate liability

otherwise provided in subsection(b) below.
(2) Payment deadline. Payment of the renewal fee and submission of a certificate of insurance
must be delivered to the zoning administrator by March 1. If a licensee fails to make the
renewal payment and/or to provide an adequate certificate of insurance by March 1, the
licensee must pay a $50 penalty prior to April 1 to be eligible for an annual renewal of a
sidewalk café license agreement, in addition to satisfying other renewal requirements
under this section. No payments or certificates of insurance shall be accepted for renewal
purposes after April 1.
(b) Denial authority.
(1) Grounds. The zoning administrator shall not grant an annual renewal and shall mail a
notice of denial to the licensee at the licensee's address shown on the renewal application,
stating the reason for the non-renewal and that the licensee has the right to appeal such
non-renewal, if:

to the zoning administrator the requisite certificate of insurance by the deadlines set
forth above;

an owner of record (including any equitable owners) or any tenants of real property
whose permission is required pursuant to section 35-264(d);

date of the zoning administrator's decision, and such written request shall state the basis
for the appeal. The city commission shall review the zoning administrator's decision
