• B. A site plan may be extended for additional periods of time by the Zoning Administrator, provided that prior to the expiration of the time period granted an application for the extension of the site plan is filed with the Zoning Administrator. The Zoning Administrator must make all of the findings as though the extension were a new application, based on the standards, requirements and conditions in place as of the date the extension is requested. The Zoning Administrator may grant, grant with additional requirements or conditions, or deny an application for extension of a site plan.

• C. A site plan that is extended for an additional period of time may be appealed in the same manner as the original site plan approval in compliance with Section 1605 above. A request for extension of a site plan that is denied by the Zoning Administrator may also be appealed in compliance with Section 1605 above.
