An appeal to the Board of Adjustment stays all actions seeking enforcement of, or compliance with, the decision being appealed, except where the Zoning Enforcement Officer certifies to the Board of Adjustment that, based on findings stated in the certificate, a stay would cause imminent peril to life or property, or that because the situation appealed from is transitory in nature, an appeal would seriously interfere with enforcement of this chapter.
