(A) Each PUD shall be under substantial construction within one year after the date of approval of the final development plan and adoption of a zoning ordinance amendment by the Township Board. If this requirement is not met, the Planning Commission may, in its discretion, grant an extension not exceeding one year; provided that, the PUD applicant submits reasonable evidence to the effect that unforeseen difficulties or special circumstances have been encountered, causing delay in commencement of the PUD.
(B) If the PUD has not been commenced within the above-stated period of time, or within any authorized extension thereof, the final development plan shall be of no further effect, and the Planning Commission and Township Board may then, in their discretion, initiate proceedings for the rezoning of the lands to some other zoning district.
(C) If the property is not rezoned, then the subject property remains zoned as a PUD, but the preliminary or final PUD plans previously approved become null and void. In order to utilize the property as a PUD, an applicant shall submit plans for preliminary and final PUD site plan approval as required by this section, but a further PUD rezoning by the Township Board shall not be required.
