9.20.300 Use of Permit.
   A.   A hazardous waste facility permit shall be granted for only those substances and quantities identified in the conditions of approval. No additional types of wastes or increase in the quantity of approved wastes shall be allowed beyond those specified in the approved facility permit, unless a separate application is made therefor which shall satisfy the same procedures and contents as those required in an initial application.
   B.   Any off-site hazardous waste facility permit that is granted shall be used within one year from the effective date thereof, or within such additional time as may be set in the conditions of approval, which shall not exceed a total of two years; otherwise the permit shall be null and void.
   C.   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a permit is required to be used within less than two years, the permittee may, prior to the permit’s expiration, request an extension of time in which to use the permit. A request for extension of time shall be made to the City Council and shall be filed with the Planning Director, accompanied by the fees established by the City Council.
   D.   Within thirty days following the filing of a request for an extension, the Planning Director shall set the matter as an advertised public hearing on the regular agenda of the Planning Commission who shall review the application, make a recommendation thereon, and forward the matter to the City Council.
   E.   An extension of time may be granted by the City Council upon a determination that valid reason exists for the permittee not using the permit within the required period of time.
   F.   If an extension is granted, the total time allowed for use of the permit shall not exceed a period of three years, calculated from the effective date of the issuance of the original permit.
   G.   The term “use” shall mean the beginning of substantial construction of the use that is authorized, which construction must thereafter be pursued diligently to completion.
