    Administrative decision appeals text amendment

    Discussed

    Staff described changes to the zoning appeals chapter: the Appeals Hearing Officer could decide only matters of city code, appellants would be limited to applicants, city officers and adversely affected parties under new state law, and appeals would no longer automatically stay decisions. Council Member Fowler suggested a deadline for stay decisions; Norris said staff would work with the Attorney's Office.
