§ 18.92.060. Revocation for non-use. (See also Section 18.108.020.)

A.

If a conditional use permit has been approved but the use has not commenced within two years of approval, the department shall notify the applicant by mail at the address listed on the application, that on a date and time stated in the notice the planning commission will consider revocation of the conditional use permit as a consent item unless prior to that hearing, the applicant establishes that substantial progress has been made toward commencement of the use. The notice shall further inform the applicant that he or she may request a hearing to request a time extension before the commission pursuant to Sections 18.108.050 through 18.108.180.

B.

A conditional use permit may be terminated if it is not used within two years of the date of approval, and shall be voidable, unless written time extensions are applied for and approved prior to permit expiration pursuant to Sections 18.108.050 through 18.108.180. Time extensions may be granted or conditionally granted provided:

1.

Each extension will be for a one year period of time; and

2.

The maximum number of extensions will not exceed an additional total of three years.

C.

If a conditional use permit has been approved but the use has not commenced within one year of approval, the applicant shall provide to the county planning department a written status report and plan of action which will clarify the progress which has been and which is expected to be made toward implementing the project. This information shall be provided no later than fourteen months after the application approval date. Failure to provide a timely response to the department may be considered by the zoning agency in any proceeding brought under Section 18.108.030.

D.

A conditional use permit may be terminated at the written request of the property owner and will require approval by the zoning administrator. Upon receipt of the written request, the matter will be scheduled on the zoning administrator's agenda with notification only to the property owner.
