B. Utilization and Extension of Conditional Use Permits
1. A conditional use permit shall not be deemed valid until all of the conditions as approved by the decision body have been complied with and released by the Community Development Director. A conditional use permit approved in accordance with the procedures and considerations as provided in this chapter, shall automatically become void after 24 months from the effective date of such approval when the owner fails to institute an action to erect, build, alter, move or maintain the use of the property as specified in the terms and conditions of the conditional use permit; however, at the initial hearing the decision body may provide, by appropriate condition of approval, for extensions of time beyond the two-year period.
2. A conditional use permit shall automatically become void after 24 consecutive months of inactivity from the effective date of such approval.
3. Acceptable action shall be considered to be actual construction, alteration, repairs and use of structures and land. Preparation of plans, financial negotiations, estate settlements, or change of property owners are not considered sufficient evidence of an action.
4. Requests for extensions shall be pursuant to 15.76.120.
