An interested party may appeal to the Planning Commission from any decision of the City Engineer within 10 business days after said decision. Appeals shall be in writing and shall state the specific nature of the appeal. Said appeal shall specify therein that the decision was in error and specifically identify all the facts and circumstances on which the claim of error is based, supported by evidence. Failure to timely file an appeal with the City Clerk and/or to identify with specificity all facts and circumstances on which the appeal is based shall result in the appeal being rejected and not processed by the City. Appeals shall be on forms provided by the Development Services Department and filed with the City Clerk’s Office and accompanied by the required appeal fee(s). Once a valid application for appeal has been filed, the City Clerk’s Office shall notify the Director of Development Services who shall take no longer than 30 calendar days to set the matter for public hearing at a regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting. The meeting date shall also be no more than 60 calendar days from the application’s filing date. If, in the exercise of reasonable diligence, the City is not able under the circumstances to schedule the appeal hearing within 60 days after the date of the valid appeal application, then the appeal hearing shall be scheduled within a reasonable time thereafter. The decision of the Planning Commission shall be final. (Ord. 3563 § 5, 2024; Ord. 3544 § 12, 2023; Ord. 3005 § 1, 2005; Ord. 1797 § 1, 1978).
