A. After decision by the Planning Commission, copies thereof shall be mailed to the applicant and to any party filing a written notice therefor with the secretary of the Commission or the Director of Development Services, and the application and any supporting documents, together with the written decision of the Planning Commission, shall be forwarded to the City Clerk’s Office. Once a valid application for appeal has been filed, the City Clerk shall take no longer than 30 calendar days to set the matter for public hearing at a regularly scheduled City Council 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.

B. If the applicant or any other interested party is dissatisfied with the decision of the Planning Commission, such person may file a notice of appeal within 10 business days from the date such notification of the Planning Commission’s decision was mailed to the applicant. Such notice of appeal shall be filed on forms provided by the Development Services Department with the City Clerk and accompanied by the required appeal fee(s). Such appeal shall be in writing and shall specifically state all bases for why the appellant contends the Planning Commission’s decision was in error, and his reasons therefor, 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.
