III.RECONSIDERATION AND APPEALS
The following is a summary of the deadlines and procedures for filing reconsiderations and appeals. Any
person wishing to file or respond to a recommendation or appeal should contact the Planning Department
for further procedural information and fees.
A.Request for Reconsideration
Section 20.95.050.B.2 allows for the staff to reconsider their decision or recommendation if a
written request is filed within ten (10) working days of the date of the initial decision. The
reconsideration request should cite specific references to the findings and/or the criteria contained
in the ordinances governing the type of application being reviewed.
B.Appeals
Section 20.105.020.A & B describe how appeals of a staff decision or recommendation shall be
made. The appeal shall be made in writing, and shall include the decision being appealed along
with the name of the project and the date of the decision, the name of the individual or group
appealing the decision, their interest in the matter, and reasons why the appellant believes the
decision to be wrong. The appeal must be filed with the Community Development Director within
14 calendar days after the date of the decision being appealed.
C.Time Limits for Reconsideration and Appeals
The time limits for Reconsiderations and Appeals run concurrently. If a request for a
reconsideration is filed before the time limit for filing an appeal has expired, the time clock for
filing an appeal is stopped until a decision on the reconsideration request is completed. Once the
Hearing Examiner has issued his decision on the reconsideration request, the time clock for filing
an appeal continued for the point it was stopped. For example, if a request is filed on day 5 of the
appeal period, an individual would have 9 more days in which to file an appeal after the Hearing
Examiner issues his decision on the reconsideration request.
