§ 525.180. Appeals of decisions of the city planning commission or board of adjustment.


Latest version.
  • All decisions of the city planning commission, except zoning amendments, and all decisions of the board of adjustment shall be final subject to appeal to the city council and the right of subsequent judicial review. Appeals may be initiated by any affected person by filing the appeal with the zoning administrator on a form approved by the zoning administrator. All appeals shall be filed within ten (10) calendar days of the date of decision by the city planning commission or board of adjustment. No action shall be taken by any person to develop, grade or otherwise alter the property until expiration of the ten-day appeal period and, if an appeal is filed pursuant to this section, until after a final decision has been made by the city council. Not less than ten (10) days before the public hearing to be held by the zoning and planning committee of the city council to consider the appeal, the zoning administrator shall mail notice of the hearing to the property owners and the registered neighborhood group(s) who were sent notice of the public hearing held by the city planning commission or the board of adjustment. The failure to give mailed notice to individual property owners, or defects in the notice, shall not invalidate the proceedings provided a bona fide attempt to comply with this section has been made.
