greater than the amount necessary for the city to recover some or all of the costs incurred
by the city in processing and issuing that business tax certificate, and (ii) if the aggregate
annual gross receipts from all the low revenue businesses operated at one location or by
the same operator are less than four thousand dollars, then a business tax certificate is not
required for any of those businesses; provided, that this subsection shall not apply
