Any interested citizen or administrative official may appeal to the council from any ruling of the commission adverse to his interests, by filing with the secretary of the commission within ten days from such ruling, a written notice of appeal. Thereupon the secretary of the commission shall forthwith transmit to the council all papers constituting a record upon which the action appealed from was taken and in addition thereto, the city council may, at its hearing, receive such additional evidence as seems to it relevant. Upon due hearing, the city council shall have the power to overrule or alter any such ruling of the planning commission, or to refer such matter back to the commission for its restudy or reconsideration.
