(A) Generally. Applicants shall diligently pursue completion of development projects. Accordingly, this subsection voids unapproved applications for legislative, administrative, and quasi-judicial applications that become stale due to inaction by the applicant. In addition, this subsection allows for an extension of the life of such stale applications and of the expiration deadlines established in Table 156.J.002.12-1, Development Review Summary Table, for approved applications that may expire due to inactivity of the applicant.
(B) Applications subject to approval extension. Table 156.J.002.12-2, Review Steps, denotes the development review applications that are subject to approval extension provisions.
(C) Extension of time.
(1) Request. Prior to the expiration of an approved application or unapproved stale application, the applicant may request in writing an extension of the expiration date of up to six months.
(2) Amendments. If the City Council amends this Zoning Ordinance or adopts other applicable regulations during the period of time when the application was stale, the application shall:
(a) Not be subject to compliance to the new regulations until the original application is considered to be voided; and
(b) Become subject to the new regulations and ordinances if the period of time to request an extension lapses.
(3) Expiration of extension. Approved applications or unapproved stale applications shall expire after the six-month extension lapses if the Zoning Administrator determines that the applicant is not actively pursuing action to complete the development or address comments.
