9-1-21: VESTING OF ZONING RIGHTS:
   A.   Application And Fee: Upon payment of the required application fees and submission of a completed application, as determined by the planning commission, an applicant shall be entitled to have the filed application reviewed and acted upon pursuant to the terms of the subdivision and master planned development code, or development code and zoning map, in effect at the time of filing of the application, subject to the exceptions set forth in subsection D of this section. The applicant may take advantage of changes in this title and zoning map that would permit greater density or more intense use of the land; provided, however, that these changes may be deemed a modification of the plan and require the payment of additional planning review fees.
   B.   Nonzoning Matters: Nonzoning related matters, including, but not limited to, site development standards, procedural requirements and building code requirements, will not vest until complete building permit applications have been filed and required fees have been paid. Water and sewer connection availability, costs of water and sewer connection and water development fees, and applicable impact fees and other charges, will vest only upon payment of the building permit application fees and submission of all the materials necessary for the issuance of a building permit.
   C.   Termination: Vesting of all permits and approvals terminates upon the expiration or termination of the permit or approval.
   D.   Exceptions: Applicants shall not be entitled to review and approval of applications pursuant to the terms of this title in effect at the time of application when revisions to this title are pending at the time of application which would prohibit or further condition the approval sought, or when there exists a compelling reason for applying a new standard or requirement retroactively to the time of application.
