Permit approvals which are subject to review per MMC §
22G.010.340 shall have a time limit of two years from issuance or date of the final appeal decision, whichever is applicable, in which any required conditions of approval must be met; however, conditional use approval for schools shall have a time limit of five years. The time limit may be extended one additional year by the community development director or the hearing examiner if the applicant provides written justification prior to the expiration of the time limit. For the purpose of this chapter, "issuance or date" shall be the date the permit is issued or date upon which the hearing examiner's decision is issued on an appeal of a permit, whichever is later. A permit is effective indefinitely once any required conditions of approval have been met.
Exception: Effective until December 31, 2011, a one-time, 36-month time extension, less any previously approved one-year extension, may be granted by the community development director for any unexpired conditional use permit approved prior to December 31, 2009, if the applicant or successor:
(1) Files with the community development director a sworn and notarized declaration that final conditional use permit approval will be delayed as a result of adverse market conditions and an inability of the applicant to secure financing; and
(2) Is current on all invoices for work performed by the department on the conditional use permit review.
