§ 13-2709. Appeal of denial of application.

(a)

An operator who has been denied a permit may make application for relief from portions of this article or from the City Clerk's determination to the City Manager. Such appeal must be made within ten (10) working days from the date of the City Clerk's determination and only after all issues relevant to the permit process have been determined. Upon receipt of the appeal, the City Manager will then have up to ten working days to grant relief upon an adequate showing that undue hardship would be suffered if not granted.

(b)

After having been denied relief by the City Manager as provided in (a) above, the operator shall have the right of appeal to the Council of the City of Norman. Such appeal shall be taken by filing with the City Clerk within ten (10) working days after denial of relief by the City Manager a written statement setting forth fully the grounds for the appeal. After receipt of the written statement, the City Clerk shall schedule the appeal for hearing by the City Council on the next regular agenda. The operator shall be notified of the time of the hearing at least seven (7) days prior to such hearing. Proper mailing to the address shown on the application shall be adequate notification. The decision and order of the Council on such appeal shall be final and conclusive.
