5. The Finance Director denied the business license application and taxicab business <br />permit on March 8, 2017. San Leandro Municipal Code Section 6-6-225(j) permits the <br />Finance Director to deny a taxicab business permit where an applicant, within ten years <br />prior to the date of application has committed “an act involving violence, dishonesty or <br />fraud with the intent to injure another person”. San Leandro Municipal Code Section 2- <br />2-420 permits the Finance Director to deny a business license permit when a proposed <br />business will not comply with any applicable laws. <br />6. The criminal violations committed by Mr. Meher clearly qualify as grounds for the <br />Finance Director to deny a taxicab business permit. Because Mr. Meher cannot obtain a <br />taxicab business permit, granting him a business license to operate a taxicab business <br />in the City would be inconsistent with the City’s municipal code. Mr. Meher did not <br />present testimony refuting the criminal violations that have occurred within the past ten <br />years. <br />Conclusion <br />The applicant failed to show cause why the action or determination of the Finance <br />Director should not be approved. Based upon the evidence submitted and the findings <br />set forth, the business license denial and taxicab business permit denial are upheld and <br />the appeal is denied. <br />39
