§ 13. Appeals.


Latest version.
  • Any person aggrieved by a decision of the commission relating to hardship or issuance of certification of appropriateness, may within 30 calendar days of receipt of the written decision, file a written application with the city council through the office of the city secretary for review of the decision. The city council may consider hardships that would otherwise prohibit the applicant from enjoying the same benefits as other property owners with similar lots and similar uses. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to present evidence why there is a unique hardship upon their property. A recommendation from the historic preservation commission as to whether the appeal should be approved or denied shall be presented by city staff at the public hearing. The city council shall hold public hearings to consider the appeal. A decision of the city council is final and not appealable.
