§ 27-205. Hearing date.

(a)

Hearing date established.

(1)

The Zoning Hearing Examiner shall establish the date of the public hearing.

(b)

Request to delay hearing.

(1)

Should the Planning Board determine that it is in the public interest to delay the hearing date, the Planning Board may request, prior to the submission date (Section 27-206(a)), that the Council approve the delay. The request shall be in writing, with a copy to the Zoning Hearing Examiner. The District Council may approve the request (by administrative action) and notify the Zoning Hearing Examiner to redesignate the hearing to another specified date.

(2)

The People's Zoning Counsel or any person of record may request the continuance of a hearing under this Section. The Zoning Hearing Examiner shall grant a continuance if a required Technical Staff Report has not been filed at least thirty (30) days before the scheduled hearing. If a continuance is granted for this reason, the Zoning Hearing Examiner may not hear the case until at least thirty (30) days after the Technical Staff Report has been filed.
