Section 105.3.2 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“105.3.2 Plan Check Expiration, Extension and Renewal. An application for a plan check submitted for any proposed work shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the plan check application shall expire 180 days after the date of filing, unless such application has been pursued in good faith or a permit for such work has been issued; except that the building official is authorized to grant one or more extensions of time, for additional periods not exceeding 90 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated. Extensions will only be granted prior to the expiration of the plan check application. Extensions will not be approved until all applicable fees have been paid to the City.
Renewal: When a plan check application has expired, plans cannot be resubmitted prior to submitting a new application or renewing the plan check application. Requests to renew an expired plan check application shall be submitted to the Building Official, in writing, shall demonstrate justifiable cause and shall be subject to the approval of the Building Official. If approved by the Building Official the fee for the renewed plan check application shall be one-half the amount required for a new plan check for such work, provided no major changes have been made in the original plans and specifications for such work that might constitute a new plan check and provided further that the plan check renewal application is submitted within one year of the date the plan check application, or extended plan check application, as applicable, expired. To renew a plan check application more than one year after the date the plan check application, or extended plan check application, as applicable, has expired, the applicant shall be required to pay a new full plan check fee.”
