The City Council or Planning Official may approve or deny an application for a permit other than a conditional use permit or variance without a hearing if the city gives notice of the decision and provides an opportunity for an appeal of the decision to those persons who would have had a right to notice if a hearing had been scheduled or who are adversely affected or aggrieved by the decision. Notice of the decision shall be given in the same manner as notice of the hearing would have been given if a hearing had been held. An appeal shall be heard by the City Council as a de novo hearing.
