The written notice shall be served on the responsible person, shall specify the facts which, in the opinion of the Chief of Police, constitute substantial evidence to establish grounds for modification, denial, suspension and/or revocation, and state that the permit will be modified, denied, suspended or revoked within 30 calendar days from the date the notice is given unless the owner or permittee aggrieved by the Chief of Police’s decision files with the City Manager a request for an administrative hearing to appeal the decision pursuant to CVMC 5.36.150.
