Sec. 1609. (a) A person seeking judicial review may seek, by filing a verified petition, an order of the court staying the zoning decision pending review by the court. The court may enter an order staying the zoning decision pending a final determination if:
(1) the court finds that the petition for review and the petition for a stay order show a reasonable probability that the zoning decision appealed from is invalid or illegal; and
(2) a bond is filed that is conditioned upon the due prosecution of the proceeding for review and that the petitioner will pay all court costs and abide by the zoning decision if it is not set aside. The bond must be in the amount and with the surety approved by the court. However, the amount of the bond must be at least five hundred dollars ($500).
(b) If a petition for review concerns a revocation or suspension of a previously approved variance, exception, or use, any stay ordered under subsection (a) is effective during the period of the review and any appeal from the review and until the review is finally determined, unless otherwise ordered by the court granting the stay. If the stay is granted as provided in this section and the zoning decision is approved on final determination, the revocation or suspension of the variance, exception, or use immediately becomes effective.
