(a) Hearings shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures outlined in this Article. Where this Article does not address a procedural issue, the procedures in Article 43.3 of Title 12, C.R.S., and any procedural rules enacted pursuant to that article shall apply unless the same are clearly inconsistent with the provisions of this Article.

(b) Failure of an applicant or licensee to appear at any scheduled hearing of which the applicant or licensee has received notice or has himself set, and for which notice was posted and published in compliance with this Article, without a showing of good cause verified by the applicant’s affidavit filed with the Authority within ten (10) days of the scheduled hearing, shall constitute a default and a withdrawal of the application or motion, and a default of any complaint, order to show cause, motion or other matter pending against the licensee. Any such application or motion withdrawn by the applicant or licensee may not be refiled for one (1) year.

(c) After an application has been filed, a hearing on the application has been set, and notice has been published and posted in compliance with this Article, any withdrawal of the application by the applicant shall constitute a denial of the license under Section 6-5-308(d)(5) of this Code and § 12-43.3-308, C.R.S., unless the Town stipulates that the withdrawal shall not constitute such a denial.

(d) The Authority may hear and decide motions.

(e) The Authority may adjourn and continue any hearing, at the request of the applicant and with the consent of the Town, to give the applicant an opportunity to fulfill any requirement that has not been met or to make changes to its application or operational plan.

(f) The Authority may join various matters pending concerning the same license in a single hearing.

(g) Every decision of the Authority shall be in writing, stating the reasons therefor, and shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date that a complete application is submitted or within thirty (30) days of the public hearing if a public hearing is required or held. A copy of such decision shall be sent by certified mail to the applicant at the address shown in the application. (Ord. 1348, 2011; Ord. 1463 §4, 2018)
