In the event that a development agreement should be canceled, or otherwise terminated, unless otherwise agreed, all rights of the developer, property owner or successors in interest under the development agreement shall terminate. Any and all benefits, including money or land, received by the City shall be retained by the City. Notwithstanding the above provision, any termination of the development agreement shall not prevent the developer from completing and occupying a building or other improvements authorized pursuant to a valid building permit previously approved by the City or under construction at the time of termination, but the City may take any action permitted by law to prevent, stop, or correct any violation of law occurring during and after construction, and the developer or any tenant shall not occupy any portion of the project or any building not authorized by a previously issued building permit. As used herein, "construction" means work under a valid building permit, and "completing" means completion for beneficial occupancy for developer's use, or if a portion of the project is intended for use by a lessee or tenant, then for such portion "completion" means completion except for interior improvements such as partitions, duct and electrical runouts, floor coverings, wall coverings, lighting, furniture, trade fixtures, finished ceilings, and other improvements typically constructed by or for tenants of similar buildings. All such uses shall, to the extent applicable, be deemed nonconforming uses and shall be subject to the nonconforming use provisions of the planning code.
