B. Renewals shall be made as provided in GHMC 5.01.090, except the process for renewal of a shooting sports facility shall be the same as for an initial application; provided, that the city shall not require that the applicant pay for consultants or investigators to review the renewal application or inspect the facility unless (1) the applicant is proposing changes to the facility, the facility site plan, the required operations plan, or the allowed shooting types as part of the license renewal, or (2) the administrator determines that inspection or review by consultants is required in order to verify compliance with changes in state, federal or local laws pertaining to the shooting sports facility or its operation, or (3) there was a final determination by the administrator or a court during the expiring term of the license, that the shooting sports facility violated any provision of this chapter during such term, as the result of the facility’s design, construction, operation or maintenance.
