A. The public transportation vehicle permit will be issued by the transportation official unless there is a finding that:
1. The applicant has been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, and has not subsequently demonstrated rehabilitative characteristics;
2. The applicant has made a material misrepresentation in the application;
3. The vehicle does not comply with the rules and regulations of the city including the limit on the number of vehicle permits to be issued to a franchisee;
4. If the application is for renewal of a permit, that the applicant has violated conditions of the previous permit, or ordinances or regulations of the city in the conduct of the business or activity.
B. When one or more of the findings is negative to the applicant, a permit may be conditionally issued to the applicant, where unique circumstances exist which justify issuance of the permit, and provided that appropriate conditions are imposed on the permit to protect the public health, welfare, and safety.
