Death or move of permit holder; suspension or revocation; businesses existing before adoption of article provisions. a. Should a home occupation permit holder die or move to a new location, the existing permit shall be automatically terminated. Except that in the case of death, should a surviving spouse or child, residing at the same address or receiving title to the property desire to continue the home occupation, written notice to that effect shall be given to the zoning administrator and the council may authorize continuation of that permit without further hearing. b. A home occupation permit, once granted, may be suspended or revoked prior to its original revocation date by the council for cause after hearing before the council.
