MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable City Council
FROM: Patrick J. Richards, Director of Conmmn ty Development
DATE: March 13, 1992 (CC meeting of 3/25/92)
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE TO REVISE THE APPEAL PERIOD FOR APPEALS TO CITY
DECISION - MAKING AUTHORITIES TO 15 DAYS FROM 10 DAYS
Background
The City's previous Zoning Ordinance indicated that the appeal
period for appeals to City decision - making authorities shall end
fifteen (15) calendar days after the decision being appealed is
rendered. When the City's current Zoning Ordinance was approved,
there was an inconsistency between the appeal period of the
previous Zoning Ordinance and the existing Ordinance. Pursuant to
Section 8111 -8.3 of the City's current Zoning Ordinance, the appeal
period for appeals to City decision - making authorities shall end
ten (10) calendar days after the decision being appealed is
rendered. The Old Ordinance (No. 57) had changed the appeal period
from 10 to 15 days in 1985. The City Attorney is of the opinion
that the most recent adopted appeal period of ten (10) days
applies.
Discussion
At the City Council meeting on March 4, 1992 regarding Appeal 92 -2,
the Council noted that the current Zoning Ordinance had a shorter
appeal period than the City's previous Zoning Ordinance. Section
8115 -1 of Article 15 of Chapter 1 of the Zoning Ordinance of the
City provides that the City Council may initiate proceedings to
consider amendments to the Zoning Ordinance by the adoption of a
resolution requesting the Planning Commission to set the matter for
public hearing, report, and provide a recommendation to the City
Council. Staff is of the opinion that a fifteen (15) day appeal
period should be established to allow adequate time for the City
Council and the public to file appeals.
