§ 7.40.050. License—Issuance.

A.

Upon receipt of an application for a license under the provisions of this chapter, the Department shall examine the application with other agencies or departments of the City as the Department deems appropriate for review, investigation and recommendation, in order to determine whether the activities proposed to be undertaken would be contrary to any law or whether the issuance of the license would otherwise be contrary to the public health, safety or welfare. No license shall be issued until the Department has received reports and recommendations from all departments and agencies to which the application has been referred. The Department shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny an application for a license. Completed applications shall be acted upon in forty-five days.

B.

The Department shall deny a license if it determines the proposed activities would be contrary to any law or whether the issuance of the license would otherwise be contrary to the public health, safety, or welfare.

C.

The Department shall deny a proposed location for a vendor if it determines the proposed vending activity would create a safety hazard, render the parking facilities for the property inadequate, interfere with traffic, or interfere with a special event.

D.

The Department may deny a license if it determines that the applicant has provided materially inaccurate information required to be submitted in order to obtain a license, withheld or falsified any material information required to be submitted in order to obtain a license, or failed to adhere to licensing requirements with respect to any license previously granted by the City.

E.

If an application is denied, the Department shall set forth the reasons in writing and a copy of the decision shall be provided to the applicant.
