(A) Permits. The village coordinates the enforcement of this chapter with the county inspections and building permit system. The village enforces this chapter through the issuance of a certificate of zoning compliance and a certificate of occupancy, except as otherwise provided in this chapter. The County Inspections Department is authorized to issue building permits and enforce all applicable state building codes in the village.
(B) Permit expiration. Zoning compliance and building permits expire six months after issuance unless work under the permit has commenced. Permits also expire if work is discontinued for a period of 12 months after work has commenced.
(C) Permit choice. If a development permit applicant submits a permit application for any type of development and a rule or ordinance is amended, including an amendment to any applicable land development regulation, between the time the development permit application was submitted and a development permit decision is made, the development permit applicant may choose which adopted version of the rule or ordinance will apply to the permit and use of the building, structure, or land indicated on the permit application.
(D) Permit choice expiration. The permit choice rule may expire if an applicant delays. If an applicant puts a permit application on hold for six consecutive months or more, or if an applicant fails to respond to the Planning Board and/or Board of Adjustments requests for additional information for six consecutive months or more, then the application is discontinued. If the permit application is resumed, it will be reviewed under the rules in effect at that time.
(E) Subsequent development permits. If an applicant obtains an initial development permit, that permit triggers permit choice for subsequent development permits under the rules applicable at the time of application for the initial development permit. That protection continues for 18 months after the approval of the initial development permit. The applicant must be actively pursuing that original application to maintain the permit choice rights for other development regulations. The initial development permit under this section shall not include a sign permit or erosion and sedimentation control permit.
