The City Administrator may exempt a food vendor, food packager, or nonprofit food provider from the requirements of Portland City Code for a one-year period, upon a showing by the applicant that the conditions of this Chapter would cause undue hardship. The phrase “undue hardship” includes but is not limited to:

1. A. Situations where there are no acceptable alternatives to PSF packaging for reasons that are unique to the vendor or provider;
2. B. Situations where compliance with the requirements of Portland City Code would deprive a person of a legally protected right. If a request for exemption is based upon a claim that a legally protected right would be denied if compliance were required and such request for exemption is denied, review of the denial may only be by writ of review as provided for in ORS 34.010 to 34.102.
