An applicant who has been denied a permit under this chapter for a sign that is not a prohibited sign may seek immediate judicial review of the denial or within ten (10) days of the denial may request in writing to the city clerk or the city attorney that the city commence a judicial action to review the permit denied. If so requested, the city will commence an action within ten (10) days of the written request if the request is to judicially review matters that are protected by the first amendment. The burden of proof shall be on the city where required by law and shall otherwise be upon the applicant. (Ord. 2552 § 1, 2004)
