Final determinations by appropriate city staff denying an initial registration; denying an application for renewal of a registration; terminating a registration; or denying, revoking or suspending any development permit are subject to appeal. A notice of appeal of such decision may be filed with the city's Manager within thirty (30) days of the date of the final, written decision to be appealed. The City Manager shall have thirty (30) days from the date the appeal is filed to review the matter and render a written decision to uphold or reverse the final decision made by staff. If the City Manager upholds the final decision of staff, the appellant may file a notice of appeal with the City Clerk within thirty (30) days of the date of the written decision of the Chief Administrative Officer. The City Clerk shall set the matter for hearing before the City Council at any regular meeting of City Council scheduled within forty-five (45) days of the date that the notice of appeal is filed with the City Clerk, unless waived by the communications services provider. A ruling may be made at the hearing or at the next regularly scheduled City Council meeting and the communications services provider shall be notified of the decision in writing within thirty (30) days thereof. Where a notice of appeal to the City Manager or the City Clerk is not timely filed as provided herein, such right to appeal shall be waived. Upon correction by the communications services provider of the circumstances that gave rise to a suspension or denial of a development permit, the suspension or denial shall be lifted (the same does not apply to the revocation of a development permit).
