A. Upon filing of any proceeding referred to in §208-2711 and during its pendency before the Board, all land development pursuant to any challenged ordinance, order or approval of the Zoning Officer or any agency or body and all official action thereunder shall be stayed, unless the Zoning Officer or any other appropriate agency or body certifies to the Zoning Hearing Board facts indicating that such stay would cause imminent peril to life or property, in which case, the development or official action shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order which may be granted by the Zoning Hearing Board or the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, on petition, after notice to the Zoning Officer or other appropriate agency or body.
B. When an application for development, preliminary or final, has been duly approved and proceedings designed to reverse or limit the approval are filed with the Zoning Hearing Board by persons other than the applicant, the applicant may petition the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas to order such persons to post a bond as a condition to continuing the proceedings before the Zoning Hearing Board, pursuant to provisions of the MPC.
