Any holder of a certificate of public convenience and necessity may make application to the director of public works for such additional taxicab permits as he or she may desire. The director of public works shall notify the other certificate holders of such application and, if no objections are filed within ten days, the applicant shall be granted such taxicab permit or taxicab permits as requested without necessity of a hearing or investigation as provided in Section 5.20.050. If, however, protests are filed, then such taxicab permits shall be granted or denied only in accordance with the provisions of Sections 5.20.050 and 5.20.060. (Ord. 1524 § 4, 2009)
