The mitigation plan will describe steps proposed by the applicant to reduce the number of violations described in this subdivision to a level that qualifies for a regular license. The mitigation plan may include such steps as: changes in tenant screening procedures, changes in lease terms, security measures, rules and regulations for tenant conduct, and security personnel.
(b) The application with a proposed mitigation plan will be presented to the health director. The health director will approve, disapprove, or approve with conditions the application and the mitigation plan. If the health director disapproves an application and mitigation plan or approves it with conditions, reasons for doing so in writing will be provided to the applicant.
(c) The licensee must comply with the mitigation plan as approved or modified by the health director. No later than the tenth day after each calendar month, the licensee must mail or deliver to the health director a written report describing all steps taken in furtherance of the mitigation plan during the preceding month.
(d) Provisional license application fee. An application for a provisional license must be accompanied by a provisional license application fee. Fees will be set forth in section 512 of this Code. An application will not be processed or considered until the application fee is paid.
