§ 17.48.300. Notice to correct—Appeal.

A.

The Board of Appeals also shall be the adjudicatory body for hearing appeals from the provisions of this chapter.

B.

A person aggrieved by any notice or order which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of this chapter may appeal the matter to the Board of Appeals. The appellant, within ten days after service of a notice or order, shall file in the Office of the Director of Planning and Zoning a signed written notice of appeal, requesting a hearing and setting forth a brief statement of the reasons for the hearing. Upon receipt of the notice of appeal, the Director shall notify the Board. The Board shall set a time and place for the hearing and shall give the appellant and the Director notice of the hearing. The Board shall file the decision on an appeal within forty-five days following the conclusion of the hearing on the appeal.

C.

After the hearing the Board may affirm, amend, modify or withdraw the notice or order from which an appeal was taken. The decision of the Board constitutes an order and any person who fails, refuses or neglects to comply with any order is guilty of violating this chapter.

D.

The decision of the Board in all cases shall be final; except, that any appellant or party directly aggrieved by a decision of the Board, within thirty days after the rendering of the decision, may appeal to the circuit court for the County. The findings of fact of the Board shall be conclusive and judicial review shall be limited solely to errors of law and questions of constitutionality. The decision of the Board in any case on appeal shall be stayed pending a decision of the court.
