Absent any opposition from adjacent property owners, the <br />Planning Commission shall review the administrative variance request at the following <br />regularly scheduled meeting. <br /> <br />c. Denial and Appeals: If the Director chooses to deny a request, or if either the adjacent <br />neighbors or the Planning Commission disagrees with administrative approval of a variance <br />request, the request is denied administratively and the applicant may choose to request a formal <br />variance from the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />d. Fees: Administrative variances fees are set according to the fee schedule adopted by City <br />Council resolution. <br /> <br />SECTION 3.
