When an authorized City of Santa Ana representative finds that any person holding a Regulatory Safety Permit under the provisions of Chapter 40 has violated the provisions of this chapter or is found guilty of conduct which would form the basis of denial of the Regulatory Safety Permit as set forth in Article XIII of Chapter 18, s/he may revoke or suspend the permit. No such revocation shall become effective until the Regulatory Safety Permit holder has been notified in writing by certified mail of the right to appeal the revocation decision pursuant to the provisions or Chapter 3 of this Code. If a timely appeal is filed, the revocation shall be effective only upon decision of a hearing officer as provided for in Chapter 3 of the Santa Ana Municipal Code. Otherwise, the revocation shall become effective after the timely appeal period has passed. 3. State License Suspension/Revocation. Revocation or suspension of a Licensee's State issued commercial cannabis business permit or license by the State shall constitute a violation of this article and result in revocation of the Licensee's RSP.
