The Chief of Police and every officer and/or City department to which an application is referred may investigate the truth of any matters set forth in the application, the character of the applicant, and may examine the premises to be used for the casino party to ensure that it complies with all health, fire and zoning regulations.

The Chief of Police shall issue the license unless he finds that the applicant has knowingly made any false, misleading, or fraudulent statement or omission of material fact in the application for the license or that the organization is not a nonprofit charitable organization, or that the applicant or any of its volunteers who will operate the casino party have been previously convicted of violating any of the provisions of this section or any provisions of state law relating to unlawful gambling or of theft, or if the applicant has had a previous casino party license revoked or denied within five years immediately preceding the date of the application, or that the applicant has conducted a casino party in the City of Chula Vista within the last six months or that such organization has not been located and operating within the limits of the City of Chula Vista for a period of more than 180 days prior to the date of application.
