Sec. 656.135. - Appeal of written interpretation of the Director.

Any adversely affected person may appeal a written interpretation by the Director of the Zoning Code or an ordinance rezoning to the Planned Unit Development district, to the Commission by filing a Notice of Appeal of a Written Interpretation on the form prescribed by the Department with the Department within 14 days of the issuance of the written interpretation. The Director shall set the matter for a hearing before the Commission within 45 days of the date of the Notice of Appeal, unless otherwise extended by agreement of the Director and the appellant. The hearing before the Commission shall be limited to the oral argument of the Director and the appellant, and/or their respective attorneys. The sole issue to be determined by the Commission is whether the Director's interpretation is "clearly erroneous," as defined under Florida law. The Commission shall issue a written decision concerning the appeal, which written decision shall be deemed to be the final decision of the City, and may be appealed by any person with standing under State law by common law certiorari in the circuit court.
