No person, association, firm, corporation or other legal entity may apply for any license required under this Article within one year from the denial of any such license to such applicant, or from the nonrenewal or revocation of any such license, unless the cause of such denial, revocation or nonrenewal has been, to the satisfaction of the licensing authority, removed within such time. This section shall be inapplicable to denials of applications or renewal when the reason for denial was for an administrative, technical or otherwise non-material reason.
