(B) A submitted application for an administrative appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Zoning Administrator certifies to City Council, after the notice of appeal is filed, that by reason of facts stated in the application, a stay would cause imminent peril to life and property. In such case, and upon concurrence by the Council, proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order which may be granted by a court of record.

(D) Decision. After the Board of Zoning Appeals public hearing and review, the Board of Zoning Appeals may determine to reverse or affirm, wholly or in part, or may modify the administrative decision. When the Board reverses the administrative decision, the Board shall have all powers of the Zoning Administrator or administrative body from whom the appeal is taken.
