The board of adjustment may grant a special exception to authorize a reduction in the number of SAH units required under this division if the board finds, after a public hearing, that:
(a) the units have remained vacant for six months or more; and
(b) good faith efforts to lease the units to lower income families were made during their vacancy.
In granting a special exception under this section, the board shall establish a termination date for the special exception, which may not be more than one year after the date of the board’s decision. This provision does not preclude the granting of additional special exceptions in accordance with this section. The two year limitation on a request for a property in Section 51A-4.703(e) does not apply to this section. (Ord. 21663)
