  • (a)

    Upon receipt of a complete application for issuance of a new license, the licensing authority shall schedule a public hearing upon the application not less than 30 days after the filing date of the application and shall order the posting and publication of the public notice thereof not less than ten days prior to such hearing. Public notice shall be given by the posting of a sign in a conspicuous place on the premises for which application has been made and by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the municipality or county in which the premises are located.

    (b)

    Notice given by posting shall include a sign of suitable material, stating the type of license applied for, the date of the application, the date of the hearing, the name and address of the applicant, and such other information as may be required to fully apprise the public of the nature of the application. If the applicant is a partnership, the sign shall contain the names and addresses of all partners holding ten percent or more interest, and, if the applicant is a corporation, limited liability company, or association, the sign shall contain the names and addresses of the president, vice-president, secretary, and manager.

    (c)

    Notice given by publication shall contain the same information as that required for signs.

    (d)

    If the building in which the massage parlor is to be operated is in existence at the time of the filing of an application, any sign posted as required in subsections (a) and (b) of this section shall be placed so as to be conspicuous and plainly visible to the general public. If the building is not constructed at the time of the application, the applicant shall post the premises upon which the building is to be constructed in such a manner that the notice shall be conspicuous and plainly visible to the general public.

    (e)

    At the public hearing held pursuant to this section, any party in interest shall be allowed to present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.

    (f)

    The licensing authority, in its discretion, may limit the presentation of evidence and cross-examination so as to prevent repetitive and cumulative evidence or examination.
