Whenever, within one year after granting a conditional use permit, the use as allowed by the permit shall not have been initiated or utilized, then such permit shall become null and void, unless a petition is filed for an extension of time in which to complete or utilize the use that was approved by the city council. Such extension shall be requested in writing and filed with the zoning administrator at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the original conditional use permit. There shall be no charge for the filing of such petition. The request for extension shall state facts showing a good faith attempt to complete or utilize the use permitted in the conditional use permit. Such petition shall be presented to the planning commission for a recommendation and to the city council for a decision. (Ord. 1988-12, 12-19-1988; amd. 2005 Code)
