In the event that the use authorized by an approved conditional use permit ceases operation for a period of 12 consecutive months, that conditional use permit shall become null and void, and any proposal to reinitiate the use following the end of the 12-month period shall require a new conditional use permit. However, prior to the expiration of the 12-month period, the permittee may file with the Planning Division a request for an extension of up to six months for continuance of the conditional use permit. If granted, one additional six-month extension period may be requested, but in not event shall the overall period for allowing for continuance of a dormant conditional use permit exceed 24 months. The City Planner shall be responsible for determining the date upon which the approved use ceased operations.
