(3) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, prior violations at a location shall continue to be counted against a location and permit ineligibility periods shall continue to apply to a location unless:
(a) The location has been fully transferred to a new proprietor or fully transferred to entirely new proprietors; and
(b) The new proprietor(s) provide(s) the city with clear and convincing evidence that the new proprietor(s) has/have acquired or is acquiring the location in an arm’s length transaction. (Ord. 695 § 1, 2018).
