An affected party may appeal the determination of noncompliance or violation of provisions of this chapter, the administrative compliance order, and/or the administrative civil penalty assessment made pursuant to Section 8.46.270.

The notice of appeal must be received by the city manager within seven calendar days from the date of the violation determination, or from the date of the stop work order for an appeal of that order. The appeal shall state the name and address of the appellant, the name of any representative, the portion of the determination being appealed, the reason the determination is incorrect, and a statement as to what the correct determination should be. Failure to file a complete statement within the time or manner set forth shall constitute a waiver of objection and the appeal shall be dismissed. Hearing on the appeal before the city manager or his/her designee shall take place within thirty days from the date of city’s receipt of the notice of appeal. At least ten days prior to the hearing, the city shall mail notice of the time and place of the hearing to the appellant. The decision of the city manager or designee shall be final.
