The denial of a permit which is governed by this chapter shall be appealable to the planning commission. The procedures and deadlines governing such appeal shall be the same procedures and deadlines prescribed in the City's Code for appeals to the city council in connection with the denial of a conditional use permit except that in its sole and absolute discretion the city council (or its designee) reserves the right to hear or decline a request to hear an appeal of the planning commission's decision. If the city council agrees to hear an appeal from the planning commission, the decision of the city council (or its designee) shall be final and supersede the decision of the planning commission.
