  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
(2) The procedures for review of a development plan by the plan commission staff, hearing examiner, or committee.

(3) The procedures for an appeal to the plan commission of a decision made by the plan commission staff, hearing examiner, or committee.

     (b) A plan commission staff, hearing examiner, or committee to which authority has been delegated under section 1402(c) of this chapter may make a decision concerning a development plan without a public hearing if the zoning ordinance provides for an appeal of the decision directly to the plan commission.

     (c) The zoning ordinance may provide for a hearing procedure for review of a development plan that is similar to the hearing procedure for review of subdivision plats under the 700 series of this chapter. If such a procedure is adopted, the zoning ordinance may provide that public notice and hearing are not required for secondary review of a development plan. If notice and hearing are not required for secondary review of a development plan, the primary approval or disapproval of a development plan is a final decision of the plan commission that may be reviewed only as provided in section 1016 of this chapter.
