(a) In connection with a permit. A site development plan associated with an application for a building or grading permit expires one year after the date that the Office of Planning and Zoning recommends permit approval, or upon the expiration of some other period of time, not to exceed six years, as provided in a sketch or site development plan approval letter from the Planning and Zoning Officer. Notwithstanding any modifications granted to allow for additional time to complete site development, the Planning and Zoning Officer may extend the approval of the site development plan for a period not to exceed one year from the original date of expiration of site development plan approval upon receipt of a written request made for good cause not less than 15 days before the expiration of the site development plan approval, provided the total period of all extensions does not exceed six years from the date the Office of Planning and Zoning recommends permit approval. The developer shall obtain all required permits within the period prescribed by this subsection and site development shall be pursuant to valid permits.
(b) Not in connection with a permit. A site development plan not associated with an application for a building or grading permit expires two years after the date that the Office of Planning and Zoning approves the plan, or upon the expiration of some other time, not to exceed six years, as provided in a sketch or site development plan approval letter from the Planning and Zoning Officer, unless the developer establishes the use within the period prescribed by this subsection.
(c) Notice of expiration. The Office of Planning and Zoning shall provide the date of expiration of approval of a site development plan as well as information on the extension process and any applicable fee to the developer on the initial approval of the plan.
