The SUP requirement shall be suspended only if the proposed new building site is located a minimum of 1,000 feet from any building site containing any residential use listed in Section 51-4.201 and a minimum of 1,000 feet from any building site containing another shelter. All measurements shall be taken radially between the building sites in question. In addition, the shelter must obtain a certificate of occupancy and any other required licenses and approvals before it may begin operating. A shelter that relocates in accordance with this subparagraph shall not acquire any nonconforming rights during the period of suspension, and any investment made in land, buildings, or structures during that period shall be at the complete risk of the shelter that an SUP may not ultimately be granted. At or before the end of the one-year period, the shelter shall either file an application for an SUP or cease operations. A shelter that files an application for an SUP in accordance with this subparagraph may remain operating while the application is pending before the city plan commission or city council; however, if the application is denied or withdrawn, the shelter shall cease operations no later than 60 days after the date the final decision is made to deny the application, or the date the application is withdrawn, whichever is applicable.
