Where the loading zone is to be on-street, the business establishment shall have applied to the commissioner of transportation in accordance with Title 9 of this Code for the designation of a curb loading zone, and no license shall be issued for the operation of a valet parking service at that establishment unless and until the designation has been approved and the curb loading zone signage has been installed; provided that no license, or renewal thereof, shall be issued for any location, including any loading zone, designated as a tow zone.
