(A) In computing any period of time prescribed by this Code, the day of the act or default from which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included. The last day of the period is to be included, unless it is a Saturday, a Sunday, or a legal City holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal City holiday. When the period of time prescribed is less than seven (7) days, intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal City holidays shall be excluded in the computation. A half City holiday shall be considered as other days and not as a holiday for purposes of this section.
(B) When, by these rules or by a notice given pursuant to City Code or regulation, a person is required or allowed to undertake any act only within a specified time period, the responsible authority may order the time period enlarged (1) upon request for an extension of time by the person made prior to the expiration of the original period prescribed or to the expiration of any period extended by prior order and a showing of good cause; or (2) upon written request for an extension of time by the person made after the expiration of the original time period prescribed or after the expiration of any period extended by prior order and a showing of good cause and of excusable neglect. This section does not apply where other provisions of this Code provide for an alternative process for enlargement of time.
(C) Whenever a party has the right or is required to do some act or take some proceedings within a prescribed period after the service of a notice or other paper upon the party and the notice or other paper is served upon the party via first class mail, postage prepaid by mail, three (3) days shall be added to the prescribed period.
