    1. The name and street address of each person to have an interest, direct or indirect, in the liquor store as an owner, partner, stockholder or otherwise. In the event that a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legally recognized entity is an applicant or member of an applicant group, each person with an interest therein must be disclosed and must provide the information on the application provided by the city;
    2. The name of the liquor store proposed;
    3. The address of the liquor store proposed and its zoning designation;
    4. A statement that the persons receiving the requested license to the best of their knowledge if awarded the certificate of compliance could comply with all the requirements for obtaining the required licenses under state law and the provisions of this chapter for the operation of a liquor store in the city; and
    5. The agreement of each applicant or each member of an applicant group, as appropriate, to comply with all applicable laws and ordinances and with the rules and regulations of the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission with reference to the sale of alcoholic beverages and the agreement of each applicant or each member of an applicant group as to the validity and the reasonableness of the regulations, inspection fees, and taxes provided in this title with reference to the sale of alcoholic beverages.
  2. Further determination. The application form shall be accompanied by a copy of each questionnaire form and other material to be filled out by the applicant or each member of the applicant group with the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission in connection with the same application and shall be accompanied by five (5) copies of a scale plan drawn to a scale of not less than one inch equals twenty feet (1" = 20') giving the following information:
    1. The shape, size and location of the lot upon which the liquor store is to be operated under the license;
    2. The shape, size, height and location of all buildings whether they are to be erected, altered, moved or existing upon the lot;
    3. The off-street parking space and off-street loading and unloading space to be provided, including the vehicular access to be provided from these areas to a public street; and
    4. The identification of every parcel of land within one hundred feet (100') of the lot upon which the liquor store is to be operated indicating the ownership thereof and the location of any structures thereon and the use being made of every such parcel.
  3. Signature(s). The application form shall be signed and verified by each person to have any interest in the liquor store either as an owner, partner, stockholder or otherwise.
  4. Misrepresentation, concealment of fact and duty to amend. If any applicant, member of an applicant group, or licensee misrepresents or conceals any material fact in any application form or as to any other information required to be disclosed by this chapter, such applicant, member of an applicant group, or licensee shall be deemed to have violated the provisions of this chapter and his or her application may be disregarded or his or her license restricted or revoked as deemed appropriate by the board of commissioners. Further, no sale, transfer or gift of any interest of any nature, either financial or otherwise, in a liquor store shall be made without first obtaining a replacement license from the city upon the approval of the board of commissioners.
