Text
1. The City Council shall consider an appeal for a quasi-judicial decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals and
take action on the application at its next regularly scheduled meeting that occurs at least 7 days after
receipt of the appeal by the City Clerk.
2. To “take action” is defined as to approve, to approve with conditions, to disapprove, or to table the
application. In taking such action, the City Council may ratify the findings of fact and decision of the
Zoning Board of Appeals or shall adopt their own findings of fact that support their action.
3. If the City Council fails to make a decision within 60 days after the date of the decision on the application
by the Zoning Board of Appeals, the decision by the Zoning Board of Appeals shall stand and be
considered final. For the purposes of this paragraph, “60-days” shall mean until the regular meeting of the
City Council occurring no later than two calendar months following the Board’s decision.
4. Decision Final. A decision of the City Council shall be final and may be appealed only to a court of
competent jurisdiction. Such appeal must be taken within 30 days of the adoption of the written minutes
of the City Council meeting at which the decision was made.
