Upon approval of the Planning and Zoning Commission or upon appeal and approval by Council, and with such conditions attached by either body as may be necessary to secure the objectives of this Zoning Code, the Planning and Zoning Administrator shall issue a conditional use permit to the applicant within ten (10) days. Such permit shall authorize one particular conditional use and such permit shall automatically expire if, for any reason, the conditional use shall not be commenced within two (2) years, including any construction or renovation. Such permit shall expire if a conditional use is discontinued for more than six (6) months. The conditional use permit serves as a contract between the municipality and the property owner. The property owner must follow the conditions outlined in the permit and will be required to sign an affidavit stating such at the time that the conditional use permit is granted. If the property is sold, the new owner will be required to sign such affidavit within thirty (30) days of taking ownership. At that time, additional conditions may be attached to the conditional use permit by the Planning and Zoning Administrator. If the property owner does not sign such affidavit within thirty (30) days of taking ownership, the new owner must reapply for a conditional use permit.
