If a zoning approval or permit under this chapter has been granted with a specific time limit and the use has not commenced or substantial construction has not begun pursuant to that approval within the time limit specified, the zoning approval or permit shall automatically expire (and be void) at the end of that time limit. If a zoning approval or permit is silent with regard to a time limitation, the time limitation shall be deemed to be one year, and the zoning approval or permit shall expire (and be void) after one year if the use has not been commenced or substantial construction has not begun within said one-year time limitation. The Zoning Administrator may grant a time extension (at the discretion of the Zoning Administrator) of up to one year in total.
