(a) Permit Issuance. The SFMTA may issue any class of Non-Standard Vehicle Permit only upon its determination that the permit Applicant meets all requirements for the permit, including complying with Section 1204(a)(3). Upon permit issuance, the SFMTA will post the Permittee’s Service Disruption Prevention Plan on the SFMTA website.
(b) SFMTA Decision; Hearing. At the conclusion of the SFMTA’s review of a permit application, the SFMTA shall inform the Applicant, in writing, of the SFMTA’s decision to grant or deny the permit through a Notice of Approval, Notice of Approval with Conditions, or Notice of Denial. The SFMTA shall serve its decision in accordance with Section 1211(i). If the SFMTA issues a Notice of Denial or a Notice of Approval with Conditions, it shall include a statement of the grounds for denial or imposition of conditions. The Applicant may request a hearing to contest the Notice of Denial or Notice of Approval with Conditions by submitting to the SFMTA a written request for hearing within 20 business days of the date that the Notice of Denial or Notice of Approval with Conditions is served.
(c) Automatic Temporary Stay. Where SFMTA issues a Notice of Denial or Notice of Approval with Conditions of an application submitted by an Applicant currently holding a Non-Standard Vehicle Permit, such denial or approval with conditions shall be automatically stayed and the Applicant shall have the right to continue to operate under the existing permit until the time for requesting a hearing to contest the denial or approval with conditions has passed, without such a request; a timely request has been made and a final decision has been issued by a Hearing Officer; or the case is otherwise resolved.
