(A) Any person entitled to service of a notice under this chapter may within 15 calendar days of the date of the notice file a request for hearing before the City Council. The request need not be in any particular form but shall include the following:
(1) The name of the person requesting a hearing and all other persons joining in the request;
(2) A brief statement setting forth the legal interest of each of the persons requesting the hearing;
(3) A brief statement in ordinary and concise language of the specific order or action protested;
(4) A brief statement in ordinary and concise language of the relief sought and the reasons why it is claimed that the protested order or action should be reversed, modified, or otherwise set aside;
(5) The signatures of all the parties requesting a hearing and their official mailing addresses; and
(6) A statement by declaration under penalty of perjury that all of the matters stated within the request for hearing are true.
(B) Normally a late request for a hearing before the City Council will not be considered. However, in unusual circumstances the City Council may excuse an untimely request if the requesting party provides information excusing a lack of timely response by certifying the date of actual notice to the requesting party and accounting for all delay between the day of actual notice and the day of delivering the request for hearing to the City Council. General press of personal business shall not excuse an untimely request.
