2. Fails in any respect to qualify to do business in the city under any federal, state or city law, rule or regulation; or
3. Has committed such act or acts as may be grounds for revocation or denial of a license application under any federal, Utah state, or Salt Lake City law, rule or regulation; or
4. Investigation is provided for by city ordinance.
B. Documents And Witnesses: The mayor or his/her designee may compel the production of documents and witnesses in order to conduct such investigation as provided by this section.
C. Application Denial: Upon a finding by the mayor or the designated hearing examiner that the application is in fact incomplete, erroneous or false in any respect, or that the applicant is not qualified to do business in the city under any federal, Utah state or city law, rule or regulation, or that the applicant has committed an act or acts which would justify denial of the application, such application may be denied by the mayor or the designated hearing examiner after hearing, as provided in this chapter.
