No order of the Board of Zoning Appeals permitting the erection or alteration of a building shall be valid for a period longer than 12 months unless such use is established within such period; provided, however, that where such use permitted is dependent upon the erection or alteration of a building, such order shall continue in force and effect if a building permit for said erection or alteration is obtained within such period, and such erection or alteration is started and proceeds to completion in accordance with such permit within twelve months after the order of the Board. The Board may, upon application, in writing, stating the reasons therefor, extend the 12-month period for an additional six-month period.
(Ord. 101. Passed 2-20-70; Ord. 2017-02. Passed 2-13-17.)
