(A) A Special Use Permit for a telecommunication tower shall expire five years after the effective date of the permit approval by the Board of Adjustment. A permittee wishing to continue the use of a specific tower must apply for a renewal of the Special Use Permit at least six months prior to the expiration of the permit. In considering the request for the renewal of the Special Use Permit, the Board of Adjustment shall apply all regulations then in effect and shall consider the impact that any changes in technology since the approval of the original permit may have had on the need for the tower or the tower’s design.
(B) Following the Board of Adjustment’s approval of a Special Use Permit for a proposed tower, and the permit owner’s acknowledgment, acceptance, and execution of the Special Use Permit, the Zoning Administrator shall issue a tower permit. If a building permit is not obtained for the construction of the tower within 12 months after the approval of the Special Use Permit, or if the Special Use Permit expires in accordance with the provisions of § 154.116(G)(3) of this chapter, then the tower permit shall be void.
