Appeals to the Zoning Board of Appeals concerning interpretation or administration of this Ordinance may be taken by any person aggrieved, or by any officer or bureau of the legislative authority of the City affected by any decision of the Zoning Inspector. Such appeal shall be taken within ten (10) days after the decision by filing with the Zoning Inspector and with the Board a notice of appeal specifying the grounds upon which the appeal is being taken as well as payment in full of any applicable fees (refer to Section 1145.17). The Zoning Inspector shall transmit to the Board all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from is taken.
If three or more members of the Zoning Board of Appeals disqualify themselves from considering an appeal based on a conflict of interest which would ethically preclude voting on the question, then the appeal shall be heard by the City Planning Commission pursuant to the appeal and hearing provisions of Chapters 1147 and 1148 except that the concurring vote of four members of the Planning Commission shall be necessary to reverse any order, requirement, decision or determination of the Zoning Inspector, or to grant any variance from the requirements stipulated in this section. Any member of the Zoning Board of Appeals who claims to have a conflict of interest shall explain the reason for the conflict of interest to the Board at a meeting or in writing submitted to the Secretary of the Board.
