3.4.1 Eligibility for appeal

The decision of the City Planning Commission to approve, approve with conditions, or deny Subdivision Plan, or any action which fails to obtain a legal majority, may be appealed to the City Council within 30 days following such decision.  The Commission’s decision is effective on the 31st day after rendering unless appealed within the interim 30 days.

The City Planning Commission’s decision regarding a Subdivision Plan may be appealed by an aggrieved party or by any officer, department, commission, board, bureau, or any other agency of the City. Appeals shall be based in, and provide evidence of, an error in application of the law or a conflict in the law.

Once the Commission determines that a subdivision application is eligible for administrative approval by ratifying the subdivision, the Executive Director’s granting of administrative approval is a ministerial action that may not be appealed.
