(a) An approved certificate of zoning compliance shall be issued within ten calendar days of approval. One copy of the plans submitted by the applicant shall be returned upon approval.
(b) All certificates of zoning compliance shall be conditional upon the commencement of work within one year of issuance. If the work has not been more than 50% completed within one and one-half years of issuance, the certificate shall expire and be revoked by the Planning and Zoning Administrator. Written notice shall be provided to the property owners together with notice that further work as described in the canceled certificate shall not proceed unless a new certificate is issued or an extension granted.

When the requirements of division (c) of this section have been fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Planning and Zoning Administrator, a new certificate of zoning compliance application may be submitted for review.
