(A) Right to deny. The Council may deny any application for a license to operate any business licensed or regulated under this title. The Council may also consider the location of the business in making the determination; provided, however, that before making the determination, the Council shall hold a public hearing thereon pursuant to the notice to interested parties and the public as it may deem necessary or proper in action calling for the hearing.
(B) Rates. Where the Council may fix or approve fees, rates or charges, the rates shall be uniform for each category or class of service, and no licensee or proprietor of a regulated business shall claim or demand payment in excess thereof.
(C) Hearing. Any applicant or licensee under this title who challenges denial of a license or rates fixed or approved by the Council shall have a right to a hearing before the Council upon written request therefor. Notice of time, place and purpose of the hearing shall be given to such persons and by such means as the Council may determine in calling the hearing.
