(A) Zoning and special use permits authorize the permittee to make use of land and structures in a particular way. The permits are transferable. However, so long as the land or structures or any portion thereof covered under a permit continues to be used for the purposes for which the permit was granted, then:
(1) No person (including successors or assigns of the person who obtained the permit) may make use of the land or structures covered under the permit for the purposes authorized in the permit except in accordance with all the terms and requirements of that permit; and
(2) The terms and requirements of the permit apply to and restrict the use of land or structures covered under the permit, not only with respect to all persons having any interest in the property at the time the permit was obtained, but also with respect to persons who subsequently obtain any interest in all or part of the covered property and wish to use it for or in connection with purposes other than those for which the permit was originally issued, so long as the persons who subsequently obtain an interest in the property had actual or record notice (as provided in § 155.282(B)) of the existence of the permit at the time they acquired their interest.
(B) Whenever a zoning or special use permit is issued to authorize development (other than single-family residences or duplexes) on a tract of land in excess of one acre, nothing authorized by the permit may be done until the record owner of the property signs a written acknowledgment that the permit has been issued.
