§ 8.95.100. Appeal of director action.

(a)

The applicant or any interested party may appeal a decision of the director by filing a written request with the clerk of the board within fifteen days of issuance of the director's decision. Any such appeal shall specifically set forth the procedural and substantive reasons for the appeal or be deemed incomplete and ineffectual. The clerk shall set a board hearing within thirty days of receipt of a complete request for appeal which shall be heard within ninety days of notice thereof. Written notice of appeal shall be given to the director, the permit applicant, the appellant, and all other parties identified in Section 8.95.060(a), and the appeal hearing shall be published pursuant to Government Code Section 6061.

(b)

The board shall hear the appeal de novo except where the appeal is confined to a condition imposed by the director in which event the hearing and the decision of the board shall relate only to such condition. The appeal before the board shall be conducted under such rules as set by the board. At its discretion, the board may impose conditions for approval as it finds necessary to protect the interests of the county and its citizens. The decision of the board shall be final.
