Any person who disagrees with a ruling or interpretation of the planning director regarding this chapter may appeal the matter to the planning commission. Such appeal shall be made in writing and filed with the city clerk within fourteen calendar days of the ruling or interpretation. The city clerk will then transmit the appeal to the planning director, who will cause the matter to be placed on the agenda of the planning commission. If no appeal is made within that time, the ruling or interpretation shall be final. The appeal shall be addressed to the city clerk and shall set forth in writing the grounds for the appeal and the relief sought by the appellant. The hearing shall be scheduled within two regularly scheduled meetings. The planning director shall notify in writing all persons who have demonstrated their interest in this matter of the time and place of the meeting on the appeal at least ten calendar days prior to the meeting. The planning director shall transmit the application and all exhibits therewith to the planning commission for consideration. For the purposes of this section, a ruling is a discretionary action, e.g., a minor conditional use permit or a site plan and architectural review; and, an interpretation refers to the determination of the intent and application of provisions of this chapter. Application or enforcement of provisions of this chapter shall not be considered interpretations or rulings and are not subject to appeal. Notwithstanding this section, an individual may file for an exception from the provisions of this chapter pursuant to Section 14.44.310 of this chapter. (Ord. 2029 NCS (part), 1996.)
