(A) A Design Review approval shall be implemented within one year from the effective date of the approval to establish a right to use the approval. The approval shall lapse and become void after that one year unless either:
(1) A building permit has been issued and construction commenced and diligently pursued toward completion on the site for which Design Review approval was granted; or
(2) Prior to the date on which Design Review approval will lapse, the permittee files a written request to renew the Design Review permit pursuant to subsection (B) below; or
(3) Associated Planning permits that have a longer expiration period are obtained at the same time as Design Review approval, in which case the later expiration date shall be observed.
(B) A Design Review approval subject to lapse may be renewed for a maximum one-year period, provided that a written request for renewal is filed with the Planning Department prior to the expiration date, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 16.222 (Minor Modifications).
(C) The Planning Director may approve or deny an application for renewal of a Design Review approval. As part of the action, the Director may also modify existing conditions of approval or add new conditions to reflect any change in circumstances related to the project and surrounding properties.
