A. The board of adjustment shall either affirm or reverse the decision of the commission in whole or in part. If the board of adjustment fails to approve the reversal of the commission’s decision, that decision is affirmed. The board of adjustment may make its own findings on factual issues, based upon the evidence in the record.

B. Every decision of the board of adjustment to affirm or reverse an action of the commission shall be based upon findings and conclusions adopted by the board of adjustment. Such findings must be reasonably specific so as to provide the community and, where appropriate, reviewing authorities, a clear and precise understanding of the reason for the decision.

C. The board of adjustment’s decision affirming or reversing the decision of the commission shall be mailed to the parties to the appeal within 10 working days after the appeal decision and approval of findings of fact. [Ord. 90-44 §6, 1991. Formerly §17.100.080].
