5.05.100 Notice to applicant of action on application—Appeals to city council.

Within ten working days of the filing of a completed application, the city manager shall provide notice to the applicant of the action taken by telephone and by written notice via personal delivery, facsimile, if the applicant provides a fax number, or electronic mail, if the applicant provides an electronic mail address, together with a list of conditions imposed if the application has been granted or, if the application has been denied, the specific factual reason for the denial pursuant to Section 5.05.090. The city manager shall also provide notice to the city council. For special event or temporary outdoor promotion permits, the notice shall inform the applicant of his or her right to appeal to the city council the denial of the application, or any of the conditions imposed on the granting of the application, and shall state the last date on which such an appeal may be filed, which shall be the third working day after the date on which the notice was delivered personally or via facsimile to the applicant. The city council shall hear the applicant's appeal no later than fourteen days following its filing at a regular meeting, if scheduled, or a special meeting, if necessary. The applicant, by written request, may waive the time limits for the hearing on appeal to the city council, but may not waive the time within which an appeal may be filed. The notice of the city manager's decision on a spontaneous special event permit or the city council's final decision on an appeal of a special event or temporary outdoor promotion permit shall inform the applicant of his or her right to file a petition for writ of mandate pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6 or 1094.8.
