(A) At any time before the expiration of the 15-day abatement period specified in § 50.036(B), the respondent may request a hearing before the Zoning Board of Adjustment to appeal the finding of the Administrator that a public nuisance as defined in § 50.035 exists on the premises. The request for a hearing must be in writing and must be filed in the office of the City Manager.
(B) The City Manager shall fix a time for the hearings, and the initial abatement order shall be temporarily suspended pending such hearing. The hearing must be held by the Zoning Board of Adjustment within 31 calendar days following receipt of the request for hearing by the office of the City Manager.
(C) At the hearing, the individual affected by the order shall be given the opportunity to present evidence to refute the findings which support the abatement order. Upon completion of the hearing, the Zoning Board of Adjustment shall consider the evidence before it and shall then revoke the initial order, issue a final order which differs from the original order or reinstate the initial order as a final abatement order.
