It is the intent of this Zoning Ordinance that all questions of interpretation and enforcement shall be first presented to the Zoning Enforcement Officer, and that such questions shall be presented to the Board only on appeal from the decision of the Zoning Enforcement Officer, and that recourse from the decisions of the Board shall be to the courts as provided by law. It is further the intent of this Zoning Ordinance that the duties of the City Council in connection with this Zoning Ordinance shall not include hearing and deciding questions of interpretation and enforcement that may arise. The procedure for deciding such questions shall be as stated in this section and this Zoning Ordinance. Under this ordinance the City Council shall have only the duties of considering the adopting or rejecting proposed amendments or the repeal of this Zoning Ordinance as provided by law, and of establishing a schedule of fees and charges as stated in Section 1153.14. Nothing in this Zoning Ordinance shall be interpreted to prevent any official of the City from appealing a decision of the Board to the courts as provided in Chapters 2505 and 2506 of the Ohio Revised Code. Any such appeal shall be made within thirty (30) days of the Board's written decision.
