The text
Should the city administrator, as a result of such investigation, refuse to issue such permit, the applicant may file a written letter of appeal with the city clerk within ten days of the mailing of notice of denial thereof. The city clerk shall place the matter upon the next most convenient city council agenda for hearing, and shall give the applicant at least five days' notice of the time and place of such hearing. The hearing shall be conducted in the manner described in Section 5.04.290 hereof; provided that the burden of proof shall be upon the applicant to show that the action of the city administrator was unreasonable, arbitrary, or in excess of his jurisdiction as set forth herein. If the city council determines that the proposed enterprise would be detrimental to the public peace, health, safety, morals or general welfare of the city or its inhabitants, either by reason of the character of the applicant or the nature of the business or enterprise, or the manner in which the business or enterprise is proposed to be operated, it shall refuse to issue such permit. If it is found that the public peace, health, safety, morals or general welfare will not be adversely affected by the issuance of the requested permit, the city council shall order the same issued. The action of the city council shall be final.
