in effect21A.54.120: LIMITATIONS ON CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL:
The approval of a proposed conditional use by the planning commission, or, in the case of administrative conditional uses, the planning director or designee, shall authorize only the particular use for which it was issued and shall be valid subject to this section.
A. All conditional use approvals expire twelve (12) months from the date of approval unless one of the following occurs before the approval expires:
1. A complete building permit application to construct or modify a building or property where the conditional use will be located has been submitted to the city;
2. The conditional use is associated with a development agreement, if authorized by Utah Code and City Code, and the development agreement is signed and executed between the owner of the property and the city;
3. If a subdivision is required as part of the conditional use, a complete final plat application is submitted to the city. For the purpose of this section, a subdivision includes a subdivision amendment;
4. If no building permit is required, a business license is issued for the conditional use on the subject project; or
5. If none of the above are required, the applicant notifies the planning director in writing that the conditional use has been established, and all conditions of approval have been satisfied.
B. If one of the actions listed above expires, the conditional use shall also be considered expired.
C. A one-time, one-year extension may be granted by the planning commission, or planning director for administrative conditional use, if a written request for an extension is submitted by the applicant to the planning director prior to the expiration of the conditional use. Extensions authorized by this section only apply to the conditional use approval and not to any other required applications or approvals.
D. If one of the actions listed in Subsection A is satisfied, the conditional use shall be considered established and the conditional use shall be allowed to continue until it ceases provided the conditional use complies with applicable regulations, the plans approved as part of the conditional use, and all conditions of approval or the conditional use is revoked as provided for in this section.
