All permits issued pursuant to this chapter shall expire one year after the date of issuance or automatically upon revocation or expiration of permittee’s Federal Firearms License, whichever is earlier. Such permits may be renewed by the Chief of Police for additional periods of one year upon the approval of an application for renewal by the Chief of Police and payment of the renewal fee established by City Council resolution. A completed application for renewal shall be submitted to the Chief of Police at least 45 days prior to the expiration of the current permit or else the permit shall expire at the expiration of its term. Renewal of the permit is contingent upon all the terms and conditions of the original application and permit, as detailed in this chapter. The renewal application includes, but is not limited to, a new investigation by the Chief of Police and background verification for the applicant and any employee, officer, or agent of the applicant. If the application is submitted in a timely manner, the permit to operate shall continue in effect until two weeks after the Chief of Police mails written notice to the applicant denying renewal. The City of Berkeley permit shall be granted conditionally upon the applicant providing proof of a valid Federal Firearms License; the permit will not become effective until applicant shows proof of compliance with all applicable California state regulatory laws.
