    Any location permit shall only be issued in the name of the applicant, and must be identical to the name of the vendor licensed by the state to sell alcoholic beverages. Any location permit approved pursuant to section 6-33 of this chapter shall initially be provisional for a period of three months. During this provisional period the permit holder must provide to the building department a copy of the vendor’s state issued alcoholic beverage license. If no license is filed during this provisional period, or if the name on the state issued license is not the same as the name of the permit holder, then the permit shall be automatically voided and of no legal effect, otherwise it shall become fully issued. The director of the building, zoning and licensing department shall have the authority to extend the provisional location permit for up to an additional three months upon request from the applicant if the applicant has not received a state issued alcoholic beverage license during the provisional period.
