In such case, proceedings will not be stayed other than by order by the Airport Board of Adjustment or by a court of competent jurisdiction, or notice to the Airport Zoning Director, and on due cause shown. Appeals and petitions will be made on forms provided by the City, and all information required on said forms must be provided by the appellant or petitioner. Forms will be filed with the Airport Zoning Director, and the appellant or petitioner must pay for expenses incidental to the appeal or petition. No form will be accepted unless it contains all pertinent information and is accompanied by any required fee.
