No reapplication for a Conditional Use Permit, Variance Permit, Zone Change, General Plan Amendment, Tentative Parcel Map, Tentative Subdivision Map or Specific Plan of Development which has been denied shall be filed or accepted by the planning authority earlier than one (1) year after the date of such denial; unless specific authority to do so has been granted by the Board of Supervisors or the Planning Commission. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

1. The Planning Commission or Board of Supervisors may deny without prejudice any Conditional Use Permit, Variance Permit, Zone Change, General Plan Amendment, Tentative Parcel Map, Tentative Subdivision Map or Specific Plan of Development application provided that no substantial progress has been made by the applicant within a six (6) month period after either of the following has been required:

   1. A project has been deemed incomplete for certain specified reasons; or

   2. An environmental review determination has been made requiring additional environmental documentation and/or an Environmental Impact Report (EIR).

2. A “denial without prejudice” shall authorize the reapplication for a permit without meeting the one (1) year period specified in Section 15.09.070. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

Any permit pursuant to this Title may be amended by the granting of a new permit of the same type and following the same procedure for adoption of the original permit, except as specifically provided for in this Title. Amendments to permits may include extensions of expiration periods, and changes in uses, structures, and conditions previously approved; however any change in conditions must be approved by the Reviewing Authority that originally adopted such conditions. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

1. An approved conditional use permit expires one (1) year from the date of granting unless substantial physical construction and/or use of the property in reliance on the permit has commenced prior to its expiration. An approved conditional use permit may be extended by the director for an additional sixty (60) calendar days provided that the applicant/owner submits a written request for extension to the director at least twenty-one (21) calendar days prior to the expiration date. Only one (1) extension shall be allowed for each permit. Any person aggrieved by the decision of the director may appeal as provided in Chapter 15.05. Any active Conditional Use Permit for a use that has not been active for five (5) consecutive years is void unless a longer inactive time period is specifically allowed by the Conditions of Approval for the Conditional Use Permit.

2. The approval or conditional approval of a vesting tentative map shall expire at the end of the same time period and shall be subject to the same extensions, established by this code for the expiration of approval or conditional approval of a tentative subdivision map. (Ord. 1183 § 2, 2006)

1. Whenever in the opinion of the director the conditions of any conditional use permit issued have not been complied with, the director shall give the property owner and lessee of the subject property a ten (10) calendar days written notice to comply.

2. If, at the end of the ten (10) calendar day period, the property owner and lessee still fail to comply with the conditions of approval of the permit, the director shall immediately set a hearing before the Planning Commission to determine why the permit should not be revoked/modified. Notice of the hearing shall only be mailed to the property owner and lessee of the subject property involved ten (10) calendar days prior to the hearing. The notice shall state the violations and shall request appearance of the owner and lessee at the time and place specified for the hearing to show cause why the permit should not be revoked or modified. At the conclusion of the hearing, if the Planning Commission determines that any condition of the conditional use permit has not been complied with, the Planning Commission shall have the right to revoke or modify the permit. Such revocation or modification shall be subject to the right of appeal in the same manner as set forth in Chapter 15.05.
