A. If a hearing is held, an opportunity will be afforded all interested parties to respond and present evidence and argument on all issues presented in the protest.

B. The burden of proof will remain with the proposer lodging the protest.

C. A hearing may be conducted in an informal manner and without adherence to the rules of evidence required in judicial proceedings. Neither the manner of conducting the hearing nor the failure to adhere to the rules of evidence required in judicial proceedings will be grounds for reversing any administrative decision or order providing the evidence supporting such decision or order is substantial, reliable, and probative. Irrelevant, immaterial or unduly repetitious evidence shall be excluded. Every interested party to such proceedings will have the right to be represented by counsel, to submit evidence in open hearing and will have the right of cross examination. Unless otherwise provided by law, hearings may be held at any place determined by the City. (Ord. No. G-747, § 1; Ord. No. G-2804, § 1; Ord. No. G-3550, § 3; Ord. No. G-4894, § 6, 2007; Ord.
