(a) Effect of Approval. The Development Plan as approved by Council shall constitute an amendment of the official zoning map. Such approval shall be for a three (3) year period commencing from the date of approval by Council to allow the preparation of a subdivision plat or application for Certificate of Zoning Compliance, whichever shall apply. The approval shall become voided and the land shall revert to its last previous zoning district if a final subdivision plat has not been approved or a Certificate of Zoning Compliance has not been issued, unless an extension of time is granted as per subsection (b) below.
(b) Time Extension or Modification. An extension of the time limit or the modification of the approved Development Plan may be approved by Council following receipt of a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Such approval shall be given upon the finding of the purpose and necessity for such extension or modification and evidence of reasonable effort toward the accomplishment of the approved Development Plan, and that such extension or modification is not in conflict with the general health, safety and welfare of the public or the development standards of the Exceptional Use District (EU).
