No license fee shall be imposed by the City on any business whose only activity is the delivery of property sold at a regular place of business licensed and maintained outside the City where:

   B.   The authority licensing such business grants to licensees of the City making deliveries within its jurisdiction the same privileges, upon substantially the same terms as are granted by this title. However, before said business shall commence within the City, a police background investigation may be required if the City Police Chief deems it necessary; and
   C.   Neither the property delivered nor its manufacturing, producing or processing facilities are subject to inspection pursuant to any health or sanitary standards prescribed by the City; and

It is unlawful for any licensee to sell, transfer, or assign any license issued under the provisions of this title.

      2.   For any business specifically exempted from Municipal taxation and fees by the laws of the United States or the State of Utah.
