Sec. 26-245. - Failure to utilize administrative review

(a)

An administrative review approval approved in conjunction with a development entitlement that is dependent thereon (such as a precise plan, parcel or tract map, conditional use permit, etc.) shall expire on the same expiration date as the development entitlement. Approval of a time extension for such development entitlement shall constitute the approval of a time extension for the administrative review approval on which the development entitlement is dependent.

(b)

Failure to utilize an administrative review approval within one (1) year of its effective date (unless approved in conjunction with other development entitlements or extended by action of the Community Development

Director or their designee) will automatically invalidate such administrative review approval.

(c)

Extensions of time up to a maximum of one (1) year may be granted from the date of expiration of the administrative review approval by the Community Development Director or their designee when extenuating circumstances can be clearly shown by the applicant. The request for the extension shall be submitted to the Community Development Director or their designee in writing prior to the expiration date and shall clearly state the reasons why the administrative review approval has not been utilized. In considering a request for an extension of time, the Community Development Directory or their designee may approve, modify, add conditions, or deny the request. The Community Development Director or their designee may act on an application to extend an administrative review approval without providing public notice thereof. The decision of the Community Development Director or their designee may be appealed to the Planning Commission in accordance with the procedures set forth in section 26-193 of this chapter.

(d)

In the event that the use for which an administrative review approval has been granted is discontinued for a period of six (6) months, the administrative approval shall become null and void.
