Section 105.5 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“Section 105.5 - Permit Expiration, Extension and Renewal. Every permit issued shall become invalid and expire if the work on the site authorized by such permit is not commenced within 12 months after issuance of the permit, or if the work authorized on the site by such permit is suspended or abandoned for a period of 180 days after the time the work is commenced. The building official is authorized to grant, in writing, one or more extensions of time, for periods not more than 180 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and shall demonstrate justifiable cause for the requested extension. Extensions will only be granted prior to the expiration of the permit. Extensions will not be approved until all applicable fees have been paid to the City of Corona.
Renewal: When a permit has expired, work cannot be recommenced prior to renewing the permit or obtaining a new permit. Requests to renew an expired permit 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 permit shall be one-half the amount required for a new permit for such work, provided no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans and specifications for such work and provided further that the request to renew the expired permit is submitted within one year of the date the permit, or extended permit, as applicable, has expired. To renew a permit more than one year after the permit has expired, the applicant shall be required to pay a new full permit fee.”
