Legal Documents of Rocky Top

If a permit is revoked, the codes enforcement officer shall state the specific reasons for the revocation. Any person whose application has been denied or whose operating permit has been revoked may appeal such denial by submitting a written request for a hearing to the codes enforcement officer within ten (10) days of the denial or revocation. A hearing shall be conducted by the city's codes enforcement appeals board at its next regularly scheduled meeting, and the applicant or permit holder must be present for the appeal to be heard. The codes enforcement appeals board shall consider whether the denial or revocation was justified and whether good cause exists to issue or reinstate the permit. The decision of the codes enforcement appeals board shall be issued verbally during the course of the meeting and the applicant or operating permit holder shall be given the opportunity to address the codes enforcement appeals board. Should the applicant or permit holder fail to appear, the appeal shall be dismissed. The decision resulting therefrom shall be final and subject only to judicial review pursuant to state law.
