(A) Review of administrative orders. The Director of Community and Economic Development shall transmit to the Planning and Zoning Commission any petition for an appeal from an order, requirement or decision of the Administrator or other officer or department, together with all the documents constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken. In this regard, the Planning and Zoning Commission shall have all the powers of the Director of Community and Economic Development from whose decisions such appeal was taken.
(B) Stay of proceedings. The filing of an appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Director of Community and Economic Development or other officer or department from whose decision the appeal is taken, certifies to the Planning and Zoning Commission that, in the opinion of the Administrator or such other officer of department, and by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay would result in imminent peril to life or property. In such a case, proceedings shall not be stayed except by a restraining order granted by a court of record upon notice to the Director of Community and Economic Development or other officer or department from whose decision the appeal is taken, and on good cause shown.
(C) Decisions. The Planning and Zoning Commission may reverse, affirm or modify, in whole or in part, the order, requirement or decision from which the appeal is taken. A final decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission on an appeal from an order, requirement or decision of the Director of Community and Economic Development or other officer or department shall be a final administrative determination subject to review in accordance with the Illinois Administrative Review Act ( ILCS Ch. 735, Act 5, §§ 3-101 et seq.).
