No plat of a subdivision of land within the Town shall be filed or recorded in the County Recorder's Office until it shall have been submitted to and approved by the Planning Commission and such approval entered in writing on the plat.

The timely and specific appeal to the Appeal Authority described in this article, and the exhaustion of administrative remedies, shall be conditions precedent to judicial review of any decision. (Ord. 17-02, 3-16-2017)

The Town creates the position of Land Use Hearing Officer (the "Hearing Officer") as an Appeal Authority for the Town. The Town may appoint one (1) or more Hearing Officers to ensure availability as required for the efficient disposition of appeals brought under this title. The Town Council shall act as an Appeal Authority where expressly required by this Title, in which event the Town Council shall follow the procedures and requirements of this article; all other matters shall be heard by the Hearing Officer.

   A.   Appointment: The Hearing Officer shall be appointed by the Mayor, with the advice and consent of the Town Council.

   B.   Qualifications: The Hearing Officer shall be or have been a professional in law, land use or public administration, and shall have the knowledge, training and experience necessary to effectively conduct administrative hearings regarding variances and appeals of land use decisions, including knowledge and familiarity with the requirements of constitutional due process.

The Hearing Officer shall have all the powers and duties prescribed by law and by this title, including to hear and decide appeals from decisions applying the Town land use ordinance, requests for variances from the terms of the land use ordinance, and appeals from any fee imposed by the Town under this title. The Hearing Officer shall act in a quasi- judicial matter, consistent with the requirements of this article, and shall serve as the Town's final arbiter of issues involving land use ordinances as described in this title.

   A.   Land Use Authority Appeals: Except as otherwise provided herein, the Hearing Officer is authorized to hear and decide appeals from any final order, requirement, determination or decision of the Town Engineer, the Building Inspector, the Planning Commission, or any other Land Use Authority of the Town related to the application of this title.

Except as expressly provided in this article on variances, the Hearing Officer may not waive or modify the terms or requirements of this title.

   C.   Town Council Appeals: In the event an administrative matter is determined by the Town Council, either as an Appeal Authority, or after recommendation by the Planning Commission, the appeal of a decision of the Town Council shall be taken to the Hearing Officer. (Ord. 17-02, 3-16-2017)

Hearings before the Hearing Officer are convened on a case by case basis when the Town Clerk has received an application for a variance or a notice of appeal of a land use decision. Upon the filing of an appeal, the Town Clerk shall forthwith transmit to the Hearing Officer all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.

   A.   Adoption Of Rules: The Hearing Officer may adopt rules for the regulation of his/her procedures and the conduct of his/her duties. Such rules shall be consistent with State law and with the provisions of this Code, and shall be approved by the Town Council.

The appeal shall be filed, in writing, with the Office of the Town Clerk, and shall state with specificity the reasons for the appeal.

   A.   Presentation Of Information; New Information Prohibited: An appellant or adversely affected party must first present to the Land Use Authority any and all information pertinent to its land use application or request. On appeal, the appellant may not bring new information for consideration by the Hearing Officer that has not first been presented to the Land Use Authority during its consideration of the matter.

   B.   Theory For Relief: An appellant or adversely affected party shall present to the Hearing Officer every theory for relief that it can raise in District Court.

   C.   Burden Of Proof: An appellant or adversely affected party bears the burden to prove, by substantial evidence, that there is error in any order, requirement, decision or determination in the administration or interpretation of this title.

   D.   Scope Of Authority: The Hearing Officer shall presume that the decision that is being appealed is correct, and shall only modify the decision if there is substantial evidence presented to the Hearing Officer that the Town or its Planning Commission erred in its application or interpretation of this title.

      1.   When presented with legal issues, the Hearing Officer shall apply a correctness standard to its review. Inasmuch as no specialized knowledge is necessary to make such a determination, no deference is given to the Land Use Authority.

      2.   When presented with factual issues, the Hearing Officer shall apply an arbitrary and capricious standard to its review, and the decision of a Land Use Authority shall not be disturbed if there is substantial evidence in the record that discloses a reasonable basis for its decision. Inasmuch as land use authorities and administrative officials have specialized knowledge in the field of planning and land use and are expected to implement the goals and policies of the Town, they should be allowed a comparatively wide latitude of discretion. Their decisions should be disturbed only if the Hearing Officer determines that the decision is arbitrary, capricious or illegal.

   E.   Stay Of Proceedings: An appeal stays all proceedings in the action that is the subject of the appeal. In the event a stay would cause imminent peril to life or property, the party seeking protection from imminent peril may seek an expedited ruling from the Hearing Officer or may seek immediate relief from the District Court.

   F.   Due Process: Proceedings and hearings before the Hearing Officer shall be in conformance with the general principles of due process.

   G.   Applicant Appearance: The person or entity filing the appeal may appear at such hearing in person, by agent, or by an attorney of his/her choice and may present to the Hearing Officer any evidence or argument to support the contentions on appeal.

   H.   Land Use Authority Appearance: The Land Use Authority that rendered the decision that is being appealed shall appear and present any evidence or argument it finds necessary to justify its decision.

   I.   Records Maintained; Findings: The Hearing Officer shall cause a record of its proceedings to be kept, including a recording of all evidentiary proceedings and all oral arguments of the parties, and shall make written findings and conclusions of all its decisions. (Ord. 17-02, 3-16-2017)

The Hearing Officer's review of any decision of a Land Use Authority shall be confined to the administrative record developed by the Land Use Authority, unless the Hearing Officer determines that the record is incomplete or deficient. If the Hearing Officer determines that the record is incomplete or deficient, the Hearing Officer may review the matter de novo. (Ord. 17-02, 3-16-2017)

Any person or entity desiring a waiver or modification of the requirements of this title as applied to a parcel of property that such person owns, leases or in which such person holds some other beneficial interest, may apply to the Hearing Officer for a variance from the terms of this title.

   A.   Conditions For Granting Variance: The Appeal Authority may grant a variance only if:

      1.   Literal enforcement of the land use ordinance would cause an unreasonable hardship for the applicant that is not necessary to carry out the general purpose of the land use ordinances;

      2.   There are special circumstances attached to the property that do not generally apply to other properties in the same zone;

      3.   Granting the variance is essential to the enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same zone;

      4.   The variance will not substantially affect the general plan and will not be contrary to the public interest; and

      5.   The spirit of the land use ordinance is observed and substantial justice done.

   B.   Unreasonable Hardship:

      1.   In determining whether or not enforcement of the land use ordinance would cause unreasonable hardship under subsection A1 of this section, the Appeal Authority may not find an unreasonable hardship unless the alleged hardship:

         a.   Is located on or associated with the property for which the variance is sought; and

         b.   Comes from circumstances peculiar to the property, not from conditions that are general to the neighborhood.

      2.   In determining whether or not enforcement of the land use ordinance would cause unreasonable hardship under subsection A1 of this section, the Appeal Authority may not find an unreasonable hardship if the hardship is self-imposed or economic.

   C.   Special Circumstances: In determining whether or not there are special circumstances attached to the property under subsection A2 of this section, the Appeal Authority may find that special circumstances exist only if the special circumstances:

      1.   Relate to the hardship complained of; and

      2.   Deprive the property of privileges granted to other properties in the same zone.

   D.   Burden Of Proof: The applicant shall bear the burden of proving that all conditions justifying a variance have been met.

   E.   Run With Land: Variances run with the land.

   F.   Use Variances Prohibited: The Appeal Authority may not grant a use variance.

   G.   Imposition Of Additional Requirements: In granting a variance, the Appeal Authority may impose additional requirements on the applicant that will:

      1.   Mitigate any harmful effects of the variance; or

      2.   Serve the purpose of the standard or requirement that is waived or modified. (Ord. 17-02, 3-16-2017)

The decision of the Hearing Officer shall take effect on the date when it issues a written decision, or at a different time as may be designated in the written decision.

Violation of this section shall be a Class C misdemeanor. The requirements of this section shall not apply to proceedings and communications during a properly scheduled public meeting or hearing for consideration of the appeal or variance, communications where all parties are present and given an opportunity to speak, or to a discussion limited to procedural matters not related to the substance of the proceedings, such as the date, time or place of the hearing. (Ord. 17-02, 3-16-2017)

The Hearing Officer shall be considered an appointed official and shall be entitled to all the protections of the Utah Governmental Immunity Act. (Ord. 17-02, 3-16-2017)

Terms for compensation and reimbursement shall be memorialized by written contract with the Administrative Hearing Officer. The written contract required by this section shall be approved and adopted by the Town Council. (Ord. 17-02, 3-16-2017)

Any person adversely affected by any decision of the Hearing Officer may petition the District Court for a review of the decision.

   A.   Administrative Remedies Exhausted: No person may file a petition for review of the Hearing Officer's decision unless he has first exhausted his administrative remedies.

   B.   Limited Allegation: The petition to the District Court may allege only that the Hearing Officer's decision was arbitrary, capricious or illegal.

   C.   Time Limit For Filing: The petition shall be filed within thirty (30) days after the Hearing Officer's decision. However, the time for filing an appeal to the District Court is stayed by the filing of a request for arbitration of a constitutional taking issue with the Utah property rights ombudsman under Utah Code Annotated section 13-43-204; in which event, a petition shall be filed within thirty (30) days after completion of proceedings before the ombudsman.

   D.   Transmit Record Of Proceedings; Transcripts: The Hearing Officer shall transmit to the District Court the record of its proceedings, including a transcript of all proceedings, all documentary evidence received at the hearing, and a copy of the Hearing Officer's rulings, findings and orders. The transcript shall be made by a person authorized to make certified transcripts of recorded proceedings, and shall bear a certification that the transcript is a true and correct copy of the proceedings before the Hearing Officer.

      1.   If a transcript is made of the proceedings before the Hearing Officer, the District Court's review is limited to the record. The District Court shall affirm the decision of the Hearing Officer if the decision is supported by substantial evidence in the record and is not arbitrary, capricious or illegal.

      2.   If there is no record of the proceedings before the Hearing Officer, the appeal to the District Court shall be a de novo appeal.

   E.   Scope Of Review By District Court: The District Court may hear only those issues and theories for relief that are raised in the proceedings before the Hearing Officer.

   F.   Stay Of Decision: The filing of a petition with the district does not stay the decision of the Hearing Officer unless the Hearing Officer determines, in writing, that a stay is in the best interests of the Town or that enforcement of the ruling would cause imminent peril to life or property. This section shall not preclude a party from seeking a stay from the District Court.

   G.   Court Decision: The Court shall affirm the decision of the Hearing Officer if the decision is supported by substantial evidence in the record and is not arbitrary, capricious or illegal. (Ord. 17-02, 3-16-2017)
