Site plan approval shall expire 12 months after the date of approval, unless substantial construction has been commenced and is continuing. The Zoning Administrator, in the case of a level "A" site plan, or the Planning Commission, in the case of level "B" site plan, may grant one extension of up to 12 additional months; provided the applicant requests an extension in writing prior to the date of expiration of the site plan. The extension shall be approved if the applicant presents reasonable evidence that the development has encountered unforeseen difficulties beyond the control of the applicant and the project will proceed within the extension period. If the above provisions are not fulfilled or the extension has expired prior to construction, the site plan approval shall become null and void.
