the building official, or their authorized agent, based on the exercise
of their best professional judgment in accordance with customary practice
in the field.

in exceptional hardship by rendering the lot undevelopable.

General. It is the authority of the building official, or their authorized

codes and standards. The building official, or their authorized agent,
may render interpretations of the provisions of this chapter, adopted
codes, and of any rule, regulation, or condition issued or imposed
pursuant to it.
B.
Purpose of interpretations. The interpretation authority established
by this section is intended to recognize that the provisions of this
chapter cannot possibly address every specific situation to which
they may have to be applied. Many such situations, however, can be
readily addressed by an interpretation of the specific provisions
of this chapter in light of the general and specific purposes for
which those provisions have been enacted. Because the interpretation
authority herein established is an administrative rather than a legislative
authority, it is not intended to add to or to change the essential
content of this chapter, but rather is intended only to allow authoritative
application of that content to specific cases.
C.
Procedure. Any person who seeks an interpretation must file a written
application therefor with the building official stating specifically
the code provisions at issue and the facts and circumstances related
to such request for an interpretation. The building official, or their
authorized agent, will make a decision, in writing, on such interpretation
and provide that written decision to the applicant within 30 days
after the application is filed. Any failure of the building official,
or their authorized agent, to act within 30 days, or within such further
time to which the applicant may agree, will be deemed to be a decision
denying the application rendered on the day immediately after that
thirty-day period.
A.
General. In order to hear and decide appeals of orders, decisions
or determinations made by the building official relative to the application
and interpretation of this chapter or adopted codes, there shall be
and is hereby created a board of appeals. The board of appeals shall

office at its pleasure.
B.
Limitations on authority. An application for appeal shall be based
on a claim that the true intent of this chapter or adopted codes or
the rules legally adopted thereunder have been incorrectly interpreted,
the provisions of this chapter or adopted codes do not fully apply
or an equivalent or better form of construction is proposed. The board
shall not have authority to waive the requirements of this chapter
or adopted codes or interpret the administration of this chapter or
adopted codes.
C.
Qualifications. The board of appeals shall consist of members who
are not employees of the City of Mendota.

to this section, the building official, or their authorized agent,
must set a date and time for a meeting before the City Board of Trustees.

filed.
E.
Meeting procedures. The City Board of Trustees shall adopt rules
of procedure for conducting its business and shall render all decisions
and findings in writing to the appellant with a duplicate copy to
the building official and may adopt procedures governing the procedure
for its meetings. Those procedures must be consistent with the following
standards:
(1)
The procedures need not require compliance with strict rules of evidence
but must mandate that only relevant information be received.
(2)
Meetings must be open to the public. There is no requirement that
members of the public be allowed to speak at a meeting.
(3)
The appellant, the appellant's representative, the City of Mendota,
and any person whose interests are directly affected must be given
an opportunity to be heard and may submit documents in support of
their position.

review documents and other relevant materials.
(5)
The building official, or their authorized agent, may participate
fully in all proceedings but has no vote on any decision.
F.
Decisions. The City Board of Trustees must issue a written decision
within 15 days after the conclusion of the meeting on appeal. That
decision must be transmitted promptly to the appellant. The failure
of the City of Mendota Board of Trustees to issue a written decision
within 15 days will be deemed a denial of the appeal. All decisions
by the City Board of Trustees are final.
G.
Administration. The building official shall take immediate action
in accordance with the decision of the Board.
A.
Unlawful acts. It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation

of violation, or order to comply, will direct the discontinuance of
the illegal action or condition and the abatement of the violations,
and will provide a time period for discontinuance or abatement which
is appropriate for the condition.
C.
Abatement of violations. The imposition of the penalties herein prescribed
does not preclude the City of Mendota from instituting appropriate
