758.15 APPEALS.
An Applicant for a Short-Term Rental License or owner of a Short-Term Rental Unit shall have the right to submit an appeal to the City Manager, in such manner and upon such forms as the City Manager prescribes, in the event: (i) any Applicant is denied a Short-Term Rental License; (ii) an Application is disapproved by any City representative whose approval is requisite for issuance of the License; or (iii) a Short-Term Rental License is suspended or revoked.
(a) Time to Appeal. An Applicant or property owner may appeal from the denial, disapproval, suspension or revocation of a Short-Term Rental License within three (3) days of receipt of notice from the City of such denial, disapproval, suspension or revocation.
(b) Hearing on Appeal.
(1) Whenever an application for appeal is made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 758.15, the City Manager shall, within one (1) week after submission of the appeal, set a time and place for a hearing on the matter.
(2) The Appellant shall be heard in person or by counsel at the hearing and shall be afforded the right to prove that his/her Application should be granted or his/her Short-Term Rental License restored. Evidence may be presented in opposition to the Appellant's case.
(3) The City Manager shall render his/her decision within three (3) days after the close of the hearing. The City Manager shall: (i) confirm the denial, disapproval, report, suspension, or revocation of the Short-Term Rental License; or (ii) Order a Short-Term Rental License be issued or restored. Any order for the issuance or restoration of a License may stipulate as a condition thereof that conditions in violation of this Chapter 758 be corrected prior to the issuance or restoration of the License.
(4) In the event a Short-Term Rental License is revoked, the License shall be immediately cancelled, and a record thereof made by the City Director of Finance. A License which has been revoked shall not be renewed, nor shall another License be issued to the same person for the same business or occupation for a period of one (1) year following revocation, unless the City Manager finds circumstances justify issuance or renewal of a Short-Term Rental License.
