(a) An owner of a property, location or structure found in violation of this chapter may appeal the notice-order by requesting in-person, a hearing with the Board of Zoning Appeals no later than five business days from the date of the posting of the notice of violation. The in-person request shall be made to the Zoning Inspector or designee and must be accompanied by a Board of Zoning Appeals fee. The appeal request does not stay the order of corrective action.
(b) A code enforcement appeal hearing, if properly made, shall be held at the first regularly scheduled Board of Zoning Appeals meeting following the in-person request and shall be conducted by the Board of Zoning Appeals.
(c) The Board of Zoning Appeals, after hearing the matter, may amend, modify, revoke, or uphold the notice or corrective action, and may extend the time for compliance with the notice of violation.
(d) The Board of Zoning Appeals, at the conclusion of the hearing and after deliberations, may render a decision immediately or take the matter under advisement. The Board of Zoning Appeals, however, shall render a written decision on the matter within seven business days after the hearing.
(e) The ruling or decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals may be appealed to a court of competent jurisdiction. Any appeal of the Board and Zoning Appeals decision will not act as a stay of the corrective action.
