(D) The number of taxicabs to be operated and the condition of such taxicabs and all appurtenances;
(E) The number of taxicabs already permitted and the demand for increased service, if any, and whether or not the safe use of the streets by the public, both vehicular and pedestrian, will be preserved or enhanced, and whether or not adequate provision has been made for off-street parking of the cabs;
