The Board of Zoning Adjustment, Planning Commission, or City Council may deny, modify, or conditionally approve the application. All entitlement decisions of the Planning Commission or Board of Zoning Adjustment are final unless appealed within fifteen (15) days of the date on which the decision is made. The appeal shall be in writing and filed with the City Clerk. The appeal must set for the specific reasons for the appeal. All applicable fees must accompany appeals.
