(A) Where an administrative permit is required by § 157.03, the following procedures shall apply.
(1) An application shall be filed with the Director upon such form as the Director may require, together with a non-refundable filing fee established by the City Council. The Director may require the applicant to submit any information required to be submitted in connection with an application pursuant to § 157.05.
(2) The Director shall approve an application if the proposed facility complies with the applicable provisions of this chapter and all other applicable laws and regulations. The Director shall approve or deny the application within 30 days after the request is filed. If the application is not denied within the 30 day period, then it shall be deemed approved. The Director shall promptly send written notice to the applicant if the application is approved.
(3) If the application is denied, the Director shall promptly notify the applicant in writing of such determination, of the reasons for the denial, and of any right to appeal the determination. Any decision by the Director to deny a request for administrative approval under this section shall be in writing and supported by substantial evidence contained in a written record.
(4) If the application is denied, the applicant may appeal the decision of the Director to the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council by filing a written notice of appeal with the Director within ten days of the notice of denial. An appeal under this section shall be processed in the same manner as a request for a Conditional Use Permit pursuant to § 157.05(B) and (C), with applicable time limits running from the date the notice of appeal is filed with the Director.
