A. Expiration. Building permits must be obtained within one (1) year of the date of final plan approval or the approval expires, along with the approval of any related variances. Upon expiration, no person shall acquire any vested property interest in or upon the land whatsoever, nor otherwise acquire any vested right to proceed with construction based upon such expired final development plan approval. Upon expiration, any variances from this Code that may have been issued in support thereof shall likewise expire, shall not vest any property right, and shall not run with the land.
B. Extensions. Upon request from the developer or approval holder, the Planning and Development Director may grant one (1) extension of up to twelve (12) additional months provided that:
1. The applicant provides the Planning and Development Department with a written request for an extension prior to the date of expiration of the original development plan approval;
2. There are no changes in the project; and
3. The zoning of the property is the same as when the project was approved.
