Redlands Municipal Code Ch. 1.06 Notices and Appeals

When this code requires the giving of notice, and the manner of giving the notice is not specified, the notice shall be in writing. If a right may be exercised, or an act is to be done, and the notice of it is required to be given but the time within which the notice must be given is not specified by this code, the notice shall be given at least ten (10) days before the time the right must be exercised or the act is to be done. (Ord. 2438 § 2, 2000)

When in this code notice is required to be given and the manner of giving notice is not otherwise specified, the notice shall be served either personally or by first class mail in a sealed envelope with postage prepaid, addressed to the person at his last known mailing address and deposited in a facility maintained by the United States postal service. (Ord. 2438 § 2, 2000)

In the case of service by mail, service is complete at the time the notice is deposited in the United States mail. However, if within a given number of days after service, a right may be exercised or an act is to be done by the person to whom the notice is given, the time within which the right may be exercised or the act done is extended by five (5) days if the place of address is within the state, ten (10) days if the place of address is outside the state of California but within the United States, and twenty (20) days if the place is outside the United States. (Ord. 2438 § 2, 2000)

The time in which action provided in this code is to be done is computed by excluding the first calendar day and including the last, unless the last day is a holiday, and then it is also excluded. (Ord. 2438 § 2, 2000)

A person aggrieved by an administrative action taken by an officer or employee under this code may appeal from the action to the city council, unless the procedure for appeal is otherwise specifically provided. The time and manner of appeal is prescribed by section 1.06.070 of this chapter. (Ord. 2438 § 2, 2000)

When this code provides that a decision or order may be appealed and the procedure for taking the appeal is not specifically provided for, the person in appeal shall file a written notice of appeal with the city council within ten (10) days of the action appealed from. (Ord. 2438 § 2, 2000)

Upon receiving the notice of appeal, the city council shall set the matter for hearing and shall give the person appealing written notice of the time and place of hearing at least ten (10) days before the hearing. (Ord. 2438 § 2, 2000)

No appeal may be withdrawn without the prior consent of the city of Redlands. (Ord. 2718 § 1, 2009)

The decision of the city council is final on the date of the ruling by the city council. (Ord. 2438 § 2, 2000)
