(a) Appeals to the Planning and Zoning Commission concerning interpretation or administration of this ordinance may be taken by any person aggrieved or by any officer, department, board, or bureau of the City. Such appeal shall be taken within such time as shall be prescribed by the Planning and Zoning Commission by general rule, by filing with the officer from whom the appeal is taken, and with the commission, a notice of appeal specifying the grounds. The officer from whom the appeal is taken shall forthwith transmit to the Commission all the papers constituting the record from which the action appeals was taken.
(b) An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the officer from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the Board, after notice of appeal shall have been filed with him, that by reason of facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in his opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In this case, proceedings shall not be stayed other wise than by a restraining order, which may be granted by the Commission or by a court of record on application, on notice to the officer from whom the appeal is taken and on due cause shown.
(c) The Planning and Zoning Commission shall fix a reasonable time for hearing the appeal, give due notice of the hearing to the parties concerned, and decide the same within a reasonable time. At the hearing, any party may appear in person or by agent or attorney. The Commission may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirement, decision, or determination appealed from, and shall make such order requirement, decision, or determination as in its opinion ought to be made in the premises, and to that end shall have all the powers of the officer from whom the appeal is taken.
