An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the officer from whom the appeal is taken certifies under oath to the Board of Zoning Appeals that a stay would cause imminent threat to life or property. In such case, proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by appropriate injunctive relief granted by a court of competent jurisdiction. (Ord. 20206 § 78, 9-10-19; Ord. 18288 § 9, 7-13-04. Code 1995 § 48-34.07. Formerly 2.45.080.)
