Appeals

An aggrieved party with respect to a decision of the historic district commission shall have the right to appeal such decision to the zoning board of review. When hearing appeals from the commission decisions, the zoning board of review shall not substitute its own judgment for that of the commission, but must consider the issue upon the findings and the record of the commission. The zoning board of review shall not reverse a commission decision except on a finding of prejudicial procedural error, clear error or lack of support by the weight of the evidence in the record. The zoning board of review shall articulate and explain the reasons and basis of each decision of the record and the zoning board of review shall send a copy of the decision to the aggrieved party, to the historic district commission, and to all parties entering an appearance. An aggrieved party may appeal the decision of the zoning board of review on a matter appealed under this chapter to the superior court of Newport County.
