(B) Immediately upon receipt of a hearing request, the City Clerk shall schedule the requested hearing and provide the Administrative Officer and the applicant with a written notice of the time, date and place, which shall be no later than three calendar days after receipt of the hearing request unless the applicant agrees in writing to a specific later time therefor.
(C) At the time, date and place scheduled by the City Clerk for the requested hearing, the Administrative Officer shall conduct a due process hearing to determine from the evidence presented therein if there were any violations of this chapter and whether the removal and impoundment conform to the provisions of this chapter.
