§ 5.06.030. Appeals from permit denial.

An applicant for a business permit whose application for such permit has been denied shall be notified of the denial in writing. Within ten (10) days after such denial, the applicant may appeal therefrom to the Council by filing with the Director of Financial Management a notice of such appeal setting forth the decision and the grounds upon which he/she deems himself/herself aggrieved thereby. Said applicant shall pay to the Director of Financial Management at the time of filing said notice of appeal a filing fee in an amount to be set by resolution of the City Council. The Director of Financial Management shall thereupon make a written report to the Council reflecting such determination denying the permit. The Council shall, within thirty (30) days following the filing of said appeal, set said appeal for hearing to be held not less than ten (10) days nor more than thirty (30) days thereafter and such hearing may for good cause be continued by the order of the Council. Upon the hearing of the appeal the Council may overrule or modify the decision appealed from and enter any such order or orders as are in harmony with this Title 5, and such disposition of the appeal shall be final.
