§ 5.18.120. Hearing after denial of application for a permit—Exceptions—Decisions.

Within five days from the date of the mailing of a notice that his or her application for a permit to solicit under this chapter has been denied, any applicant may file a written request for a public hearing on the application before the Commission, together with written exceptions to the decision of the Commission denying the application. Upon the filing of such a request, the President of the Commission shall fix a time and place for the hearing and shall notify the applicant thereof. The hearing shall be held within five days after the request is filed. At the hearing the applicant may present evidence in support of his or her application and exceptions. Any interested person may, in the discretion of the Commission, be allowed to participate in the hearing and present evidence in opposition to the applicant and exceptions. Within ten days after the conclusion of the hearing the Commission shall render its decision either granting or denying the application for a permit. Therein the Commission shall state the facts upon which the decision is based, and its ruling upon any exceptions filed to its original decision upon the application. This decision shall be filed in the Commission's office for public inspection and a copy shall be served by registered mail upon the applicant and all parties to the hearing.
