(2)

The city manager or designee shall ensure that a physical inspection of the place of business at which the coin-operated device is to be located is completed by the fire chief or his designee. The fire chief or designee shall determine whether granting the application would result in any violations of any fire codes or applicable rules or regulations.

Based on the above review criteria, the city manager or designee may impose such conditions on the granting of the application as are deemed reasonably necessary by the city. In the event any such conditions are not adhered to, the application does not contain sufficient information to address the review criteria, or in the event the city manager or designee determines the application does not satisfy the review criteria contained herein, the city manager or designee shall deny the application. Authorization to do business in the city is granted only upon issuance of the permit referenced herein.
