This would include a complete and true application, all of the required materials and information prescribed, and is accompanied by the required fees.

(D) Right to appeal. Any applicant whose application for permit was disapproved may appeal to the City Council at its next regularly scheduled meeting by filing with the City Clerk, or the City Clerk’s designee, a written request for an appeal to the City Council at least seven days prior to the meeting. As a result of this appeal, the City Council may affirm, modify, or reverse the decision of the Clerk not to issue the permit. If the application for permit is denied, the applicant is not eligible for the issuance of a permit under this chapter for a period of one year from the date of notification that the permit application was disapproved.
(E) Applications deemed withdrawn. Any application received shall be deemed withdrawn if it has been held in abeyance, awaiting the submittal of additional requested information from the applicant, and if the applicant has not communicated in writing with the city and made reasonable progress within 30 days from the last notification from the city to the applicant. The application fee is nonrefundable. Any application deemed withdrawn shall require submission of a new application and fees to begin a new review and approval process.
(F) Issuance of permit. Upon completion of the review process and a determination of compliance with the applicable regulations, the City Clerk, or the City Clerk’s designee, will issue a mobile food unit permit.
