A.

Any conditional use permit may include such terms and conditions deemed appropriate or necessary by the decision-making authority to make the findings specified in Section 19.104.040 of this chapter.

If the development for which a conditional use permit has been approved pursuant to this article has not commenced, or permits for such development have not been issued, within one (1) year of the granting of the use permit or if the conditional use permit has been unused, abandoned, discontinued or has ceased for a period of one (1) year, the use permit shall become null and void and of no effect, unless an extension has been granted by the decision-making authority upon written request for an extension before the expiration of the one (1) year period. This provision shall not apply to applications approved in conjunction with another discretionary permit. In such cases, the expiration period shall coincide with that of the associated permit.

C.
