A. Board's Powers: The board shall hold the public hearing, after which it may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirement, decision, or determination as ought to be made, and to that end shall have all the powers of the officer from whom the appeal is taken.
B. Administrative Stay Of Proceedings: An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the administrative official from whom the appeal is taken certifies to the board of adjustment, after the 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 such case, proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order granted by the board on due and sufficient cause shown.
C. Determination Of Classification: Where a question arises as to the zoning district classification of a particular use, the board of adjustment, upon written request of an administrative official may find and determine the classification of the use in question and shall, prior to such determination, order the giving of notice and hold a public hearing.
