A. If, in the judgment of the Police Chief, the representations made in the statement, or their investigation of the applicant, disclose that the granting of the license applied for will not be detrimental to the public peace, morals, health, safety or general welfare, they shall so report to the Tax Collector and the license shall be issued.

B. If, however, the representations made in the statement or investigation of the applicant, disclose that the granting of the license applied for may be detrimental to the public peace, morals, health, safety or general welfare, or that the applicant is not of good moral character or has been convicted of any violation of law involving moral turpitude, they shall recommend to the Tax Collector that the license shall not be issued unless and until a permit therefor has been granted by the City Council.

C. The Tax Collector, in such instance, shall not issue the license; provided, however, that upon request of the applicant, the Tax Collector shall turn the entire matter over to the City Clerk to be handled in accordance with Larkspur Municipal Code Sections 5.34.020 and 5.34.030. (Ord. 1062 § 14, 2022; Ord. 1030 § 2(4), 2018; Ord. 265 § 72B, 1959)
