10.11.4 Notice of Appeal

(a) Timing. A written notice of appeal together with the required fee must be filed with the Zoning Administrator within 10 calendar days following the date of the decision that is being appealed. The time limit will extend to the next business day when the tenth day falls on a day that the city is not open for business.

(b) Content. The notice of appeal must state the decision appealed from, contain a statement summarizing the factual and legal basis for the appeal, and state the relief or action sought. Unless a timely and complete notice of appeal is filed, the right to appeal is waived and the decision is final and conclusive as to the City.

(c) Stay of Proceedings. The timely filing of a complete notice of appeal automatically stays the operative effect of the decision from which the appeal is taken until a final decision is rendered on the appeal, unless the appeal is withdrawn by the appellant or the stay lifted by the Council.
