Section 4563.18. Appeals to airport zoning board of appeals

(A) Any person aggrieved by any decision of an administrative agency made in its administration of airport zoning regulations adopted under sections 4563.01 to 4563.21, inclusive, of the Revised Code, or any governing body of a political subdivision or any airport zoning board which is of the opinion that a decision of such an administrative agency is an improper application of airport zoning regulations of concern to such governing body or board, may appeal to the airport zoning board of appeals authorized to hear and decide appeals from the decisions of such administrative agency.

(B) All appeals taken under this section shall be taken within twenty days after an order is filed in the office of the administrative agency, as provided by the rules of the airport zoning board of appeals, by filing with the administrative agency from which the appeal is taken and with the airport zoning board of appeals a notice of appeal specifying the grounds of such appeal. The administrative agency from which the appeal is taken shall transmit to the airport zoning board of appeals all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.

(C) An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the administrative agency from which the appeal is taken certifies to the airport zoning board of appeals, after the notice of appeal has been filed with it, that by reason of the facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in its opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In such cases proceedings shall not be stayed other than by order of the airport zoning board of appeals on notice of the agency from which the appeal is taken and on due notice to the parties in interest.

(D) The airport zoning board of appeals shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of appeals, give public notice and due notice to the parties in interest, and decide the same within a reasonable time. Upon the hearing any party may appear in person, by agent, or by attorney.

(E) The airport zoning board of appeals, in conformity with sections 4563.01 to 4563.21, inclusive, of the Revised Code, may reverse, affirm wholly or partly, or modify, the order, requirement, decision, or determination appealed from.
