4.8.D Procedure

1. Applications for appeal of the decision of the Director of the Department of Safety and Permits or Executive Director of the City Planning Commission shall be made in writing to the Board of Zoning Adjustments within forty-five (45) days of the decision.

2. All applications shall be filed with the Executive Director of the City Planning Commission in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2 and reviewed for completeness by the Executive Director who shall determine whether the application is ripe for review by the Board, not moot, or otherwise unable to be heard in accordance with Section 4.8.B.

a. If the application is determined to be incomplete, unripe, moot, or otherwise unhearable, this determination will be conveyed to the applicant by the Board of Zoning Adjustments in writing.

b. Notwithstanding this determination, the Department of Safety and Permits or other interested parties may present arguments to the Board that an application is incomplete, unripe, moot, or otherwise unhearable and the Board may make a finding in accordance with this argument rather than rule on the merits of the appeal.
