It is the intent of this chapter that all questions of interpretation and enforcement shall be first presented to the Building Inspector, and that such questions shall be presented to the Board only on appeal from the decision of the Building Inspector. Recourse from decisions of the Board shall be made to the courts as provided by law. It is further the intent of this chapter that the duties of the City Council in connection with this chapter shall not include hearing and deciding questions of interpretation and enforcement that may arise. Under this chapter the City Council shall have only the duties of considering and either adopting or rejecting proposed amendments and official zoning map changes, granting or denying special use permits, the repeal of this chapter as provided by law and establishing a schedule of fees and charges as stated in § 156.030. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to prevent any official of the city from appealing a decision of the Board to the courts as provided in the Illinois Revised Statutes.
