§ 19.41.030 — Extension procedures

19.41.030 - Extension procedures.

A. Unless a different time is expressly provided for a specific procedure by this title, the approving authority for the type of original application may grant an initial extension of the time for expiration of the application for a period not to exceed one year from the date of the expiration of the application, provided that a request for extension is made in writing at least thirty business days before the approved application expires. Every request for extension shall include a statement of the reasons why the expiration date should be extended. B. A second extension of the expiration date of an officially submitted, complete application may be granted for a period not to exceed one additional year. The extension application must be in writing. Such an extension may be granted by the approving authority for the type of original application. The decision-maker may grant a request for a second extension upon demonstration that circumstances beyond the control of the applicant have resulted in the permit holder's inability to perform the tasks necessary to prevent the permit from expiring before the expiration date. C. In granting a first extension, the approving authority may impose such conditions as are needed to assure that the land will be developed in a timely fashion and that the public interest is served. In granting a subsequent extension request, the approving authority may require that one or more newly adopted development standards be applied to the proposed development, provided, however, that the project has not "vested" its rights in accordance with this title and state statute.
