§ 20-176.78. Denial of license; appeal; review.

Any person dissatisfied or aggrieved with the decision of the director to deny such person's application for initial license or license renewal may, within ten (10) days after the denial, appeal in writing to the CAD. Upon receipt of a notice of appeal, the CAD shall schedule and hold a hearing within fourteen (14) days. The dissatisfied or aggrieved person shall be provided with a notice of hearing, which shall include:

(1)

A statement of the time and place for hearing; and

(2)

A reference to the facts and relevant section of the county ordinances or regulations upon which the denial is based.

The hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the procedures for consumer protection board hearings (as defined in division 1, section 20-176 et seq., of this article). At the hearing, witnesses shall be sworn, and the rules of evidence applicable to quasi-judicial proceedings shall govern. After the conclusion of the hearing, the consumer protection board shall affirm or reverse the decision of the director, and that action shall be final. Should the consumer protection board reverse the decision of the director, the director shall issue a license forthwith.
