None of the fees provided for by this Chapter shall be so applied as to occasion an undue burden upon interstate commerce. In any case where a fee is believed by a solicitor to place an undue burden upon such commerce, he may apply to the Finance Director for an adjustment of the fee so that it shall not be discriminatory, unreasonable, or unfair as to such commerce. Such application may be made before, at, or within six(6) months after payment of the prescribed fee. The applicant shall, by affidavit and supporting testimony, show his method of business and the gross volume or estimated gross volume of business and such other information as the Finance Director may deem necessary in order to determine the extent, if any, of such undue burden on such commerce. The Finance Director shall then conduct an investigation, comparing applicant's business with other businesses of like nature and shall make findings of fact from which he shall determine whether the fee is unfair, unreasonable, or discriminatory as to the applicant's business and shall fix as the business license fee for the applicant, an amount that is fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory, or, if the fee has already been paid, shall order a refund of the amount over and above the fee so fixed. Any person aggrieved by the action of the Finance Director under this section may appeal to the City Manager. ORDINANCE NO.2014-009 6
