Provided a complete application is submitted within sixty (60) days after the ratification of the zoning ordinance or amendment thereto, the applicant may proceed in accordance with the previously adopted zoning ordinance or in accordance with this zoning ordinance at the option of the applicant.

There shall be no intermingling of the provisions of this ordinance and the previously adopted ordinance. Construction shall commence consistent with the terms and conditions of the building permit and of the Zoning Ordinance under which the building permit was issued, and shall be completed within two (2) years of such permit issuance.
