(A) Within ten calendar days following the date of a decision by the Community Development Director, the decision may be appealed in writing to the Planning Commission by the applicant or any other interested party. Such an appeal shall be filed with the Director and shall state specifically wherein it is claimed that there was an error or abuse of discretion by the Director or wherein the decision is not supported by evidence in the record. Appeals shall be accompanied by an appeal fee as prescribed by Resolution of the City Council. The appeal fee shall be refunded if the appeal is granted by the Planning Commission. Additional copies of the plans may be required by the Director.
(B) The Community Development Director shall give notice to the applicant and to the appellant (if the appellant is not the applicant) of the date, time, and place the appeal will be considered by the Planning Commission.
(C) The Planning Commission shall hear the appeal at its next regular meeting to be held not earlier than 14 calendar days after the filing of the appeal. The Commission may affirm, modify, or reverse a decision of the Director, provided that if the decision is modified or reversed, the Commission shall, on the basis of the record and such additional evidence as may be submitted, make the applicable findings prerequisite to the approval of a site plan as prescribed in § 10-3.4.0106 of this subchapter. The decision of the Commission shall be final unless appealed to the City Council.
