A. Grounds for Denial. The director shall deny an application for a permit authorizing the sale of food, cut flowers, and beverages on and from a city street, sidewalk or parking lot if and only if the director determines that the equipment to be used by the applicant to store, convey, prepare and serve such food, cut flowers, and beverages is unsafe and would present a danger to the general public using the city streets, sidewalks or parking lots, or would unreasonably block or obstruct the city streets, sidewalks or parking lots.
B. The director may also deny an application for a permit authorizing the sale of food, cut flowers, and beverages on and from a city street, sidewalk or parking lot if the permittee has been served notice of repeated violations of any permit restrictions, operating in a manner constituting a health and safety risk, or operating in a manner as to impede the travel of pedestrians, bicyclists, public safety vehicles or other motorists.
C. Notice of Denial. Where the director determines to deny an application for a permit authorizing the sale of food, cut flowers, and beverages on and from a city street, sidewalk or parking lot, the director shall promptly cause a notice of such determination to be served on the applicant. In such notice the director shall state the reasons for the determination not to approve the application and shall set forth the right of the applicant to appeal such determination to the city council in the manner provided for by Title 2 of this code.
