Failure to timely file an appeal shall be considered a failure to exhaust the administrative remedies. The appeal must set out the interpretation of the administrator and a narrative setting forth the facts relied upon by the appellant and the appellant's claim regarding the error in the interpretation.
B. Upon receipt of a completed appeal, the appeal will be scheduled for the next available planning commission meeting to be heard. The planning commission shall consider the following in ruling on an appeal: all public comments, staff and agency evaluations, relevant factors and standards specified in other sections of this code and compliance with the comprehensive plan.
