The provisions of this chapter are intended to provide standards for licensing for and inspection of food establishments. Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to require the Health Officer to issue or prevent the revocation of a permit if, after investigation by the Health Officer, the Health Officer concludes that issuance or continuation of a permit results in unacceptable health risks resulting from the size or configuration of the food establishment, change of use or type of food being served compared with existing facilities for the food establishment, and the likelihood that efforts to ameliorate increased health risks resulting therefrom will be unsuccessful. Any decision by the Health Officer to refuse to issue a permit or to revoke a permit for reasons found in this section shall entitle an aggrieved food establishment to a public hearing as provided in this chapter and a right to appeal as provided herein or by law.
