(a) Any person aggrieved by the issuance, denial, renewal, amendment, suspension, or revocation of a permit, or the issuance or revocation of a stop work order, under this Chapter may appeal to the County Board of Appeals within 30 days after the permit is issued, denied, renewed, amended, suspended, or revoked or the stop work order is issued or revoked. A person may not appeal any other order of the Department, and may not appeal an amendment of a permit if the amendment does not make a material change to the original permit. A person must not contest the validity of the original permit in an appeal of an amendment or a stop work order.
(b) After notice and hearing, the Board may affirm, remand, modify, or reverse the action of the Department.
(c) Any party may seek judicial review of a decision of the Board under Section 2-114. (1975 L.M.C., ch. 1, § 2; 2001 L.M.C., ch. 30, § 1; 2011 L.M.C., ch. 17, § 1.)
