A. If a building or structure has a deemed approved site plan and design review permit with a deviation from applicable design guidelines and development standards under section 17.232.070, and is damaged or destroyed by disaster, the building or structure may be repaired or reconstructed as provided in sections 17.232.070 and 17.808.410.B, except the repaired or reconstructed building or structure may differ in height, lot coverage, design, or other features if it complies with the development standards for new development in the River District SPD.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 17.808.410, the zoning administrator may approve a single extension of time of not more than two years to commence the repair or reconstruction of a damaged or destroyed building or structure within the River District SPD upon a showing of good cause and a determination that the applicant has made reasonable and diligent efforts to commence the repair or reconstruction of the building or structure. The application for extension of time to commence the repair or reconstruction of the building or structure shall be filed not less than 30 days prior to expiration of the two year period for commencement of work under section 17.808.410.B. The application for extension of time shall be noticed and heard, and shall be subject to appeal, in the same manner as an application for a zoning administrator conditional use permit.
C. If a nonconforming use of the building or structure existed at the time the building or structure was damaged or destroyed by disaster, the use may be resumed within the time stated in section 17.232.100.A, or not later than six months following issuance of a certificate of occupancy or approval of final inspection of the repair or reconstruction work, whichever is later.
