§ 12-09 License Issuance.
RCNY § 12-09
(a)Following review of proposals submitted in response to a request for licensing proposals issued pursuant to § 22-204 or § 22-206 of the Code, as the case may be, the Commission may, at its discretion, issue one or more licenses to conduct an unloading business or a loading business in the market area to the business entity or entities the Commission has determined are most qualified to provide such services in a safe, orderly and cost-efficient manner.
(b)The Commission may refuse to consider a proposal, refuse to issue a license or defer a decision on whether to consider such proposal or issue such license pursuant to the provisions set forth in subdivision b of § 22-216 of the Code.
(c)When a license or consideration of a proposal is denied for lack of good character, honesty and integrity or when the decision to issue such license or to consider such proposal is deferred, the applicant shall be given notice of the reasons for such denial or deferral and may respond in writing within ten (10) days of receipt of such notice. The Commission shall review such response and shall make a final determination whether to issue the license or consider the proposal.
(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the Commission may, for the reasons set forth in § 22-208 of the Code, determine not to issue a license or licenses to conduct unloading or loading businesses, as the case may be, in the market area and instead arrange for the Commission, a designee of the Commission or an entity under contract to the Commission, or any combination thereof, to provide such services.
