The City Commission shall serve as an appeal board to which any person affected by the denial of a permit or order of the sign officer may appeal any such decision made by the sign officer. In such a case, no permit shall be issued unless the City Commission shall find that denial of the permit would deprive the applicant of reasonable use of the land, the sign will preserve and not harm the public safety and welfare and will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
