In the event that a Grantee fails to provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the City as provided in section 12.14.700 hereof, the apparent violation or noncompliance (except for those dealing with Right-of-Way Use Permits and Small Cell Permits) shall be referred to the Hearing Examiner. The Hearing Examiner shall provide the Grantee with notice and a reasonable opportunity to be heard concerning the matter.

Unless substantial relevant information is presented which was not considered by the Public Works Director, the decision of the Public Works Director shall be accorded substantial weight, but may be reversed or modified by the Hearing Examiner if, after considering all of the evidence in light of the applicable goals, policies, and provisions of this Chapter, the Hearing Examiner determines that a mistake has been made. Where substantial new relevant information which was not considered in the making of the decision appealed from has been presented, the Hearing Examiner shall make its decision only upon the basis of the facts presented at the hearing of the appeal, or may elect to remand the matter for reconsideration by the Public Works Director in light of the additional information.

For all appeals decided pursuant to this section, the City shall provide a record that shall consist of written findings and conclusions and a taped or written transcript.

Unless otherwise provided by state statute or other law, all actions seeking review of a final action of the City, whether in the form of an appeal, declaratory judgment action, petition for writ of review or other extraordinary writ, or in any other form shall be filed with a court having jurisdiction over such action within thirty (30) calendar days of the decision, or the expiration of the reconsideration period, whichever is later, and otherwise shall be barred. (Ord. 2965 § 2 (part), 2019: Ord. 2925 § 2 (part), 2018: Ord. 2175 § 1 (part), 2003).
