All licenses granted pursuant to this division shall be valid for a period of one (1) year from the date of issuance unless revoked or suspended pursuant to this article, or chapter 32 of this Code.

(b)

All temporary special event body art facility permits shall be issued only for the purposes of product demonstration, industry trade shows, educational reasons, or a special event. Each permit shall list the specific date, time, and location of said event, and is not valid for any other date, time, or location. Each permit shall be valid for a period of not more than fourteen (14) consecutive days and, except for special events occurring on a public place, a period of at least ninety (90) days shall intervene between the termination of one (1) permit and the issuance of another permit for the same location.

(c)

A license or a special event permit shall only be issued upon verification that the establishment, mobile body art vehicle, or temporary facility meets all requirements under this Code and the rules and regulations of the manager. The licensee shall install the minimum required equipment, personnel, and other facilities as indicated in the plans as approved or modified by orders of the departments of public health and environment, building inspection division, or fire department.

(d)

Application for a special event body art facility permit shall be made to the director not less than thirty (30) days prior to the starting date of the event. The special event permit may issue upon the manager's review and approval of plans, submitted by the applicant, for the temporary facility. The director shall investigate each temporary body art permit application and either approve or deny such application within twenty (20) days of the filing of the completed application and appropriate permit fee. Approval of the public health and environment, building, fire, and zoning departments of the city shall be required for the issuance of a temporary special event body art facility permit.

However, when a license has been issued to a husband and wife, or to general or limited partners, the death of a spouse or partner shall not require the surviving spouse or partner to obtain a new license, and all rights and privileges granted under the original license shall continue in full force and effect as to such survivors until the expiration date specified on the license.
