(a) An appeal to the Building and Zoning Board of Appeals may be taken by any person aggrieved or by an officer of the City affected by any decision of the Code Enforcement Officer and the City Manager. Such appeal shall be taken within twenty days after the decision, by filing with the Code Enforcement Officer and with the Board an application for a hearing. Such application shall contain the name and address of the applicant, the nature of the request and such other information as the Board may require. Accompanying the application shall be the names and addresses of all property owners within 300 feet of the property, six copies of pertinent plans and exhibits (if required) and any required fee as established by Council. The Code Enforcement Officer shall forthwith transmit to the Board all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
(b) An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from, unless the Code Enforcement Officer certifies to the Board, after the notice of appeal has been filed with it, that by reason of facts stated in the certificate, a stay would, in his opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property, in which case the decision of the Code Enforcement Officer or City Manager shall be carried out upon order by the Board or by a court of equity, after notice to the officer from whom the appeal is taken and on due cause shown.
(c) The Board shall make recommendations to Council according to the provisions of Section 9.6 of the City Charter and to that end shall have all powers of the officer from whose decision the appeal is taken.
(d) A fee as established by Council shall be paid to the Director of Finance at the time a notice of appeal is filed. Such fee shall be credited to the General Fund.
