(a) Property subject to development plan approval must be developed in strict compliance with the approved development plan, inclusive of any conditions or plan modifications as approved by the Planning Commission.
(b) If construction and development does not conform with the approved final development plan, the approval of the final development plan shall be revoked by the Building Commissioner by written notice of the revocation mailed to the owner at the address shown on the development plan application. Upon revocation of this approval, all construction activities shall cease upon the site until such time as the violation has been corrected or the Building Commissioner or City Council have, upon a completed development plan application being filed by the applicant, approved an amendment to the final development plan to coincide with the owner’s construction, or altered plans for construction to be in compliance with the criteria and conditions contained in the final development plan approval provisions and satisfying the spirit, purpose, and intent of this Zoning Code. See Section 1147.11 for final development plan amendment requirements.
(c) Approval of the final development plan shall be valid for a period of one year beginning from the date of Planning Commission approval. If both a building permit has not been obtained and substantial on-site construction, equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%) of project completion has not been commenced within one year, the final development plan approval shall become null and void and a new application for development plan approval shall be required and new approval obtained before any additional construction or site preparation work is commenced upon the site.
(d) Enforcement. The City shall require the posting of a surety bond, letter of credit or other similar performance guarantee to ensure that required infrastructure improvements within the public right-of-way are completed in the event that the project is abandoned. The City may suspend the building permit when work is not performed as required by an approved final development plan.
