Filing an appeal.

Riverside Municipal Code § 19.680.030

in effect

19.680.030 - Filing an appeal. A. Any person aggrieved or affected by a decision of an Approving Authority may appeal that decision to the designated Appeal Authority. All appeals shall be submitted in writing to the Planning Division, in duplicate, identifying the action being appealed and specifically stating the basis or grounds of the appeal. For appeals of the decision of the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) see E below. B. Appeals shall be filed within ten calendar days following the date the Approving Authority announces its determination on the matter for which an appeal is made and shall be accompanied by a filing fee as established by City Council resolution. If the tenth day is on a weekend or holiday the appeal is extended to the end of the next regular business day (Note: one exception to the ten-day appeal period is for temporary use permits where the appeal period is two business days). C. The filing of an appeal shall stay the action being appealed and the issuance of subsequent permit(s), such as grading or building permits. D. An appeal must be filed to exhaust all available administrative remedies. E. When filing an appeal of the decision of the Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) the applicant shall provide the City with a copy of the ALUC staff report, notice of action and findings to support the override for the ALUC determination. In order to overrule the ALUC finding of inconsistency, the City Council must make specific findings that the proposal is consistent with the purposes of ALUC law "to protect public health, safety and welfare by ensuring (1) the orderly expansion of airports and (2) the adoption of land use measures that minimize the public's exposure to excessive noise and safety hazards within areas around public airports to the extent that these areas are not already devoted to incompatible uses." (Ord. 7592 § 9(Exh. J), 2022; Ord. 7552 § 41, 2021; Ord. 7331 § 104, 2016; Ord. 6966 § 1, 2007)
