All departments, officials and employees which are charged with the duty or authority to issue permits or licenses shall issue no permit or license for uses or purposes where the same would be in conflict with this code. Any permit or license, if issued in conflict with this code, shall be null and void. Reliance on a staff member's opinion does not create a legal right or implied variance that would otherwise conflict with this code.
If no commencement of construction has occurred within one hundred eighty (180) days of issuance of the building permit or approval then such permit or approval shall be expired, unless a different time of issuance of the permit or approval is allowed in this code, or unless an extension is granted by the issuing agency prior to the expiration. Failure to comply fully with the terms of any permit or approval may be grounds for cancellation or revocation. (Ord. 1628, 1-12-2015)
