(e) In the event the development plan as submitted contains variations from the development plan given preliminary approval, upon recommendation by the Planning Commission, Council may refuse to grant final approval, advising the landowner in writing of said refusal, setting forth in said notice the reasons why one or more of said variations are not in the public interest. In the event of such refusal, the landowner may refile the application for final approval correcting the variations objected to, doing so at any time within which he shall be entitled to apply for final approval, or within thirty (30) additional days if the time for applying for final approval shall already have passed at the time when the landowner was advised that the development plan was not in substantial compliance.

(g) In the event that a development plan, or section thereof, is given final approval and thereafter the landowner shall abandon such plan or the section thereof that has been finally approved, and shall so notify the City in writing; or in the event the landowner shall fail to commence and carry out the Planned Unit Development or of that part thereof, within a period of two (2) years after final approval has been granted, no development or further development shall take place on the property included in the development plan until after the said property is resubdivided and is reclassified by enactment of an amendment to the City Zoning Map in the manner prescribed for such amendments in this Zoning Code.
