(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this section, a permit, approval, extension, or entitlement may be made conditional or denied if any of the following is determined:
(1) A failure to do so would place the residents of the subdivision or the immediate community, or both, in a condition dangerous to their health or safety, or both; or
(2) The condition or denial is required in order to comply with State or Federal laws.
(d) The rights conferred by this section shall be for the time periods set forth in Section 8-1.406, below.
