All decisions of the Planning Commission may be appealed to the City Council. Appeals must be filed, in writing, with the City Clerk's Office within ten (10) days following the date of action of the Planning Commission. The appeal period commences on the day following the Commission's action and concludes on the tenth calendar day following that date. If the closing date for appeals falls on a weekend or holiday, the closing date shall be the following business day. All appeals must be accompanied by an appeal fee of 25% of original application fee up to a maximum of $500.00 and must be received by the City Clerk's Office by 5:00 p.m. on the closing date. Planning Commission decisions on applications which do not automatically require City Council review (e.g. Zoning Map Amendments and General Plan Amendments), become final following conclusion of the appeal period, if a written appeal has not been filed in accordance with the appeal procedure outline above. No appeal fee shall be required for an appeal of a decision on a Coastal Development Permit application.
