No owner, lessee or agent who has had his plans and application approved and has been issued a zoning permit shall fail to commence construction within a period of one year after the date the permit was issued or fail to complete construction within a period of two and one-half years after such date of issuance. In the event of such failure, the permit shall be terminated and revoked. Any person may, at any time prior to the expiration or revocation of such permit, submit an application to renew the zoning permit, together with a renewal fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00). The renewal shall be for a period equivalent to the period of issuance of the original permit, that is, the party renewing shall commence construction within a period of six months from the date of renewal and complete construction within a period of three years after the date of renewal. Additional extensions may be granted in accordance with Section 1440.10.
