A. Any interested person may appeal the director's issuance, denial of issuance, renewal, denial of renewal, suspension or revocation of an adult entertainment regulatory permit or adult entertainer permit to the hearing officer in accordance with the provisions of this section.
B. A written appeal petition must be filed with the city clerk within ten (10) calendar days after the decision of the director; provided, however, that if the ten (10) days expires on a date that city hall is not open for business, then the appeal period shall be extended to the next city business day. Failure to file a timely appeal petition, together with the nonrefundable appeal fee, deprives the hearing officer of jurisdiction to hear the appeal. The appeal petition shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable appeal fee in the amount of one hundred dollars ($100.00). This fee shall not be increased.
C. The appeal petition must indicate in what way the appellant contends the director's decision was incorrect or must provide extenuating circumstances that the appellant contends would justify reversal or modification of the director's decision.
