(a) Council shall hear and decide appeals by any person aggrieved by, or by any officer of the Village affected by, any decision of the Board where it is alleged there is error in any final determination of the Board made in approving or denying an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness, or in any decision of the Zoning Inspector made in the enforcement of the provisions of this chapter or a Certificate of Appropriateness, provided that such appeal must be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such final determination or decision. Notice of such appeal shall be filed with the Zoning Inspector, who will forward the matter to Council for determination.
(b) The standard of review for an appeal shall be whether there was an abuse of discretion reflecting that the Board or Zoning Inspector’s final determination was unreasonable, arbitrary or unconscionable.
(c) Council shall consider an appeal within forty-five (45) days of receipt and Council’s review shall be confined to a review of the record of proceedings of the Board and the Board’s final determination or, in the case of an appeal of the Zoning Inspector’s final determination, confined to the application and supporting documentation attached thereto. A majority vote of the members of the Council shall be required to overturn a decision of the Board.
