A.

Start of Construction. Special land use approval is valid for a period of one year from the date of planning commission approval. A building permit must be issued and physical construction must commence within the one year period.

B.

Extensions. Upon written application filed prior to the termination of the one year period as provided above, the planning commission may authorize a single extension of the time limit for a further period of not more than one year. Such extension shall be granted only based on evidence from the applicant that the development has a reasonable likelihood of commencing construction within the one year extension. The planning commission may require compliance with any amendments to the zoning ordinance since the special land use was originally approved.

C.

Expiration of Special Land Use Permit. Where actual construction of a substantial nature of structures authorized by a special land use permit has not commenced within one year of issuance, and a written application for extension of the approval has not been filed as provided above, the special land use permit shall become null and void and all rights thereunder shall terminate.
