Nothing in this Planning and Zoning Code shall prohibit the completion of the construction and use of buildings for which a zoning permit has been issued prior to the effective date of this Planning and Zoning Code, or amendments thereto, provided that construction is commenced within six months after the issuance of such permit, and that construction is carried on diligently and without interruption. “Actual construction” is hereby defined to include the placing of construction materials in permanent position and fastened in a permanent manner. Where demolition or removal of an existing building has begun preparatory to rebuilding, such demolition or removal shall be deemed to be actual construction.
