§ 5.68.030. Permit—Application.

A.

Any person desiring a permit to operate a pedicab as provided by this Chapter shall file an application therefor with the City Council. Such application shall be verified by oath of the applicant, if a natural person; or by oath of an officer or partner of the applicant, if applicant is a corporation, partnership, association or unincorporated company, and which application shall set forth the name, age and address of the applicant, if a natural person; or if a corporation, its name, date and place of incorporation, address of its principal place of business and the names of all its officers together with their respective addresses; or if a partnership, association or unincorporated company, then the names of the partners comprising the partnership, association or company, together with their respective ages and addresses. The application shall also state the trade name or style, if any, under which the applicant proposes to operate, full information pertaining to operations and the manner in which such proposed operations are to be conducted, the type, model, capacity and condition of the pedicabs proposed to be operated, a full statement of the applicant's assets and liabilities, and such other or additional information as the City Council or the City Manager may require.

B.

The City Council shall, upon receipt of the application, make full and complete inquiry into the facts set forth therein and shall either grant or deny a permit upon the proposed terms, or upon terms other than those proposed. The permit shall be for a specified number of vehicles which may be increased only by action of the City Council, which action may, at the discretion of the City Council, be taken without the necessity of an additional hearing. Such permit may, at the pleasure of the City Council, be for a prescribed period or for an indefinite period; provided that, in either event, the permit shall contain a clause authorizing its revocation or suspension in accordance with the ordinances of the City either in effect at the date of granting the permit or thereafter adopted. When issued, the permit shall constitute evidence of compliance with the terms of this Chapter and shall authorize the permittee to operate pedicabs under the conditions therein specified; subject, however, to the requirements, obligations and limitations imposed by other applicable laws, ordinances, and orders of the City Council, and shall become effective only upon payment of the fees required by the licensing provisions of this Code.
