Sec. C12-3. Withdrawal of a party and substituting a new party in an appeal.

(a) If a party files a timely appeal under the provisions of this division and later requests that the appeal be withdrawn, the matter shall first be scheduled for a hearing before the appropriate hearing body. At the time of the scheduled hearing, the request for withdrawal of the appeal shall be presented to the hearing body. The hearing body shall inquire whether any other party or parties would like to be substituted for the original appellant. If so, such party or parties shall be designated the appellant and the original appellant will be allowed to withdraw from the appeal. If no other party requests to be substituted for the original appellant, the appeal shall be withdrawn, except that the appeal fee shall not be refunded.

(b) When a new party is substituted for the original appellant, the appeal fee shall not be refunded and no new appeal fee shall be required of the new party or parties. The grounds for the appeal shall not be enlarged by the substitution of a new party or parties. A reasonable continuance in the hearing shall be granted to any appellant or respondent who requests additional time to prepare his or her case as a result of the substitution of parties.

(Ord. No. NS-1203.47, § 1, 9-24-79)
