Excerpts from Syracuse City Code
10.20.120 Appeal of Administrative Decisions.
(A) Purpose. This section sets forth procedures for appealing an administrative decision applying provisions of this title.
(B) Authority. The Board of Adjustment, Planning Commission, or City Council, as designated in this title, shall hear and decide
appeals from administrative decisions applying the provisions of this title as provided in this section.
(C) Initiation. Any person adversely affected by a decision administering or interpreting a provision of this title may appeal to the
Board of Adjustment or City Council, as applicable. A complete application for an appeal shall be filed within 15 days of the
decision.
(D) Procedure. An appeal of an administrative decision shall be considered and processed as provided in this subsection.
(1) A complete notice of appeal shall be submitted to the office of the Community Development Department on a form established by
the Department along with the fee established by the City in its consolidated fee schedule. The notice of appeal shall include at least
the following information:
(a) The decision appealed;
(b) Grounds for the appeal; and
(c) A description of the action claimed by the applicant to be incorrect.
(2) After the notice of appeal is determined to be complete, the City shall schedule a hearing before the appropriate body. Notice of the
hearing, whether before the Board of Adjustment or City Council, shall be given as provided in SCC 10.20.040. Prior to the hearing, the
Community Development Department shall transmit to the appellate body all papers constituting the record of the appealed action.
(3) An appeal to the Board of Adjustment, Planning Commission, or City Council shall not stay proceedings taken in furtherance of the
action appealed, unless such proceedings are specifically stayed by order of the Land Use Administrator. An appellant may request a
stay by submitting to the Land Use Administrator, in writing, a request for a stay setting forth the reasons why a stay is necessary to
protect against imminent harm. In determining whether or not to grant a stay, the Land Use Administrator shall assure that all
potentially affected parties are given the opportunity to comment on the request. A ruling on the request for a stay shall be given within
five days from the submittal date to the Land Use Administrator. The Land Use Administrator, in granting a stay, may impose
additional conditions to mitigate any potential harm caused by the stay, including requiring the appellant to post a bond. Within 10 days
of the Land Use Administrator’s decision regarding the grant or denial of a stay, any aggrieved party may appeal the decision to the
appellate body with jurisdiction over the appeal, whose decision will be final.
(4) The appellate body shall conduct a hearing based upon the record only, taking no new testimony or new information but relying
solely upon the information and final decision of the officer or body from whom the appeal was taken. The appellate body shall
thereafter affirm or reverse, wholly or in part, the lower decision, modify that decision, or impose any conditions needed to conform the
matter appealed to applicable approval standards. If the prior decision is supported by substantial evidence, the appellate body shall
affirm that decision. The appellate body shall have all the powers of the officer or body from whom the appeal was taken and may issue
or direct the issuance of a permit.
(5) A record of all appeals shall be maintained in the office of the Community Development Department. [Ord. 11-02 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord.
08-07 § 1 (Exh. A); Code 1971 § 10-4-120.]
