5-2H-8: - EXPIRATION OF APPROVAL.

A. Expiration: A site plan review approval shall become automatically null and void, unless extended as provided in subsection B of this Section, if any of the following occurs:

1. Unused Permit: Within one year from the Agency's action, construction has not yet commenced, or if commenced, such work has been suspended or abandoned at any time after commencement for a period of 180 days or more. 

2. Time Limit as a Condition of Permit: Circumstances which terminate the permit pursuant to any termination provision included as a condition of the permit. 

• B. Extension: Upon application by the property owner filed on or before the date of expiration of the approval, an approval which would otherwise expire may be extended by the Agency if the Agency finds that the expiration would constitute an undue hardship upon the property owner and that the continuation of the approval would not be materially detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the public. Extensions shall not be granted for more than a total of one year unless a public hearing is held and approval granted in the same manner and based upon the same criteria as for the issuance of a new permit.
