Hearings officer jurisdiction challenge
Summary
Several opponents argue the city council had no authority to delegate this land-use appeal to an appointed hearings officer instead of hearing it itself, saying the development code requires appeals to go to the council. The city attorney's office defended the delegation under the city charter's home-rule authority.
