The appeal must be filed within ten days of the denial or the revocation and the hearing shall be held within 15 days of the denial of the application or the revocation of the permit. The City Manager shall make a written determination, after presentation by the applicant, as to whether or not the grounds for denial, revocation or complaint are true and, if determined that such grounds are supported by a preponderance of evidence, the initial determination shall be sustained.
