1.
|
"Decision" is a discretionary action where the Review Authority makes the final decision on the matter; "Appeal" means that the Review Authority may consider and decide upon appeals to the decision of an earlier decision-making body, in compliance with Chapter 18.144 (Appeals); "Issuance" is a ministerial action where the Review Authority may consider and grant the request in compliance with this Zoning Code; "Recommend" means that the Review Authority should provide preliminary review and forward input to the decision-making Review Authority for consideration.
|
2.
|
Any Review Authority may defer action and refer the request
to the next higher Review Authority level for consideration and final
action. In cases where the Board is specified as the Review Authority,
the Board shall be the final level of review.
|
3.
|
Site Plan and Design Review, as well as the review of Sign Permits
and Comprehensive Sign Programs are shared by the Department staff,
the Director, and the Commission. The specific Review Authority for
these actions are further specified in Table 6-3.
