Hanford Municipal Code Ch. 1.08 Administrative Appeals

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this code, any person excepting to the denial, suspension, or revocation of a permit applied for or held by him pursuant to any of the provisions of this code, or to any administrative decision made by any official of the city pursuant to any of the provisions of this code, may appeal in writing to the council by filing with the city clerk a written notice of such appeal, setting forth the specific grounds thereof. The provisions of this Chapter 1.08 shall not apply to Chapter 17.68.

(Prior code § 1-4.01; Ord. 00-13, 2000)

The written notice of appeal shall be filed with the city clerk within 14 days after receipt of written notice of such action appealed from, but in no event later than 30 days after the date of such action.

(Prior code § 1-4.02)

The city clerk shall forthwith set such matter for hearing before the council at a subsequent regular meeting and shall cause notice thereof to be given to the applicant not less than five days prior to such hearing, unless such notice is waived in writing by the applicant. At such hearing the appellant shall show cause on the grounds specified in the notice of appeal why the action excepted to should not be approved. The council may continue the hearing from time to time, and its findings on the appeal shall be final and conclusive in the matter.
