The term of the permit shall be one year. The regulatory administrator shall not renew a permit until each of the following conditions has been met:

A. The public safety administrator has issued a background clearance for each owner of the commercial cannabis business no earlier than ninety days prior to the renewal date.

B. The public safety administrator has issued a background clearance for each operating manager and assistant operating manager of the commercial cannabis business no earlier than ninety days prior to the renewal date.

The regulatory administrator may waive this requirement in the event that extenuating circumstances, such as a public health emergency, the destruction of the business premises, or enforcement or administrative proceedings by the city under this code, made it impracticable for the commercial cannabis business to be open to customers as would otherwise be required by this subsection.

G. The commercial cannabis business has a valid seller’s permit issued by the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration.
