Unless otherwise specified by the Board as a condition of approval, any variance granted shall automatically become null and void after a period of twelve (12) months from the date of approval if substantial construction has not commenced, unless the owner or his/her agent has demonstrated, in writing, that substantial steps have been taken toward effecting the variance. Such written evidence shall be submitted prior to the expiration of the twelve (12) month period. Building permits shall only be granted for plans consistent with the approved application. Any deviation from the information submitted shall require a new application and reconsideration by the Board. (Ord. 4-21. Passed 1-4-21.)
