    (5)

    Any fact or condition exists which, if it had existed or had been known to exist at the time of the application for such license, would have warranted the director in refusing originally to issue such license; or that

    The licensee, or any of the agents, servants, or employees of the licensee, have violated any rule or regulation promulgated by the director under this Code relating to the specific license issued; or that

    The licensee, or any of the agents, servants or employees of the licensee, have violated any ordinance of the city or any state or federal law on the premises or have permitted such a violation on the premises by any other person; provided, however, this paragraph shall not apply to permitted behavior on the premises concerning the possession, consumption, display, or use of cannabis or cannabis accessories as may otherwise be permitted by the Revised Municipal Code or state law; or that

    No suspension under this section shall be for a longer period than six (6) months.
