Should any applicant for a license pursuant to this chapter be denied a license, the applicant shall have the right to appeal the denial to the City Hearing Examiner as created and defined in Chapter 2.33 SMC by giving the City Clerk written notice of appeal within ten (10) days of the denial. The applicant shall be heard as determined by the City Hearing Examiner, and shall be given not less than ten (10) days’ notice of the date, time and place for the hearing on the appeal. The Hearing Examiner may affirm the denial if it finds that the applicant has not complied with the intent of this chapter, but may order the permit issued if it finds that the applicant has complied with the intent of this chapter and that the public peace and welfare would not be endangered by the issuance of the license.
