5.44.100 Denial of application for a permit.
   A.   Grounds for Denial. Provided an applicant has provided the comprehensive liability insurance and has otherwise complied with all other special conditions required by this chapter as conditions precedent to the issuance of such permit, the Chief of Police shall deny an application for a permit that is authorized by this chapter if and only if he or she determines that the equipment to be used by the applicant to store, convey, prepare and/or serve such food, beverage, or equipment to be sold or rented 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.   Notice of Denial. Where the Chief of Police determines to deny an application for a permit, he or she shall promptly cause a notice of such determination to be served on the applicant. Such notice 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. Ord. 679, 1998
