(A) In the event of a denial of an application for a certificate of appropriateness or for a certificate of hardship, the applicant may, within 15 days of the denial, make an amended application with the Commission, taking into consideration the Commission’s reasons for the denial. Such amended applications shall be subject to the procedures specified in § 32.30.
(B) In addition, or in the alternative, an aggrieved party with standing may appeal the Commission's granting or denial of a certificate of appropriateness or of a certificate of hardship or any other decision of the Commission to the City Council, upon filing a request for appeal with the City Clerk within 21 days of the date of the decision from which the appeal is taken. Any appeal not taken within that time is barred. The City Council shall then review all facts and matters relevant to the application and the Commission’s decision. A decision by the City Council to reverse or overturn the decision of the Commission, whether in whole or in part, must be approved by a vote of at least a majority of the City Council. The decision of the City Council shall be final as to all parties involved, except as to judicial review as provided by law.
