SEC. 1314. APPEALS.
§ 1314
Property owners, tenants, and nearby residents can appeal a subdivision decision made by the Director to the Board of Supervisors within 10 days by paying a fee; the Board must hold a hearing within 30 days and notify affected parties and the public through newspaper publication.
If the city's Director approves, conditionally approves, or disapproves a plan to subdivide land, the person proposing the subdivision, any tenants affected, or nearby property owners can challenge that decision by filing a written appeal with the Board of Supervisors within 10 days and paying a fee. The Director must notify these same people about the decision and their right to appeal. The Board then has to schedule a hearing within 30 days and tell everyone involved, plus advertise it in a newspaper.
- Complex:The section references multiple cross-sections (1315(b), 1313(a)(1), 1314(b)) and involves overlapping notice requirements to different categories of people, making it difficult to follow who gets notified when and for what purpose.
