No permit or license issued pursuant to this chapter shall be revoked until after a hearing has been held before the city manager or his designee; provided, however, the city manager may order any such permit or license suspended pending such hearing if he determines that the provisions of this chapter have been violated or that the permittee or licensee has been convicted of a violation of Title 9 of the California Penal Code or Division 10 of the California Health and Safety Code. It is unlawful for any person to carry on the business of massage technician or to operate as a massage establishment, depending on the particular type of permit which has been suspended, until such permit has been reinstated by the city manager.
A hearing before the city manager or his or her designee shall be set not later than thirty days after suspension of a permit or license and notice thereof shall be given in writing and served at least five days prior to such hearing. The notice shall state the grounds of the complaint and shall be served upon the permit holder by delivering the same to such person or by leaving such notice at the place of business or residence of the permit holder in the custody of a person of suitable age and discretion. In the event the permit holder cannot be found and the service of such notice cannot be made in the manner herein provided, a copy of such notice shall be mailed, postage fully prepaid, addressed to the permit holder at his place of business or residence at least five days prior to the date of such hearing.
