18.220.210: RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES AFTER CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION:
In the event a development agreement is cancelled, unless otherwise agreed, all rights of the applicant, or his successor in interest under the development agreement, shall terminate. Any and all benefits, including money or land, received by the city shall be retained by the city. Notwithstanding the above provision, the termination of a development agreement shall not prevent an applicant from completing a building or other improvements authorized pursuant to a valid building permit previously approved by the city or under construction at the time of termination, but the city may take any action permitted by law to prevent, stop, or correct any violation of law occurring during and after construction, and the applicant or any tenant shall not occupy any portion of the project or any building not authorized by a previously issued building permit. As used herein, "construction" shall mean work performed in good faith in reliance upon a valid building permit, and "completing" shall mean completion for beneficial occupancy for an applicant's use, or if a portion of the project is intended for use by a lessee or tenant, then for such portion "completing" shall mean completion except for interior improvements such as partitions, duct and electrical run outs, floor covering, wall coverings, lighting, furniture, trade fixtures, finished ceilings and other improvements typically constructed by or for tenants of similar buildings. All such uses shall, to the extent applicable, be deemed nonconforming uses and shall be subject to the nonconforming use provisions of this code. (Ord. 2385 § 3, 1998: Ord. 2073 § 1, 1989)
