If development is delayed and the plan is not part of a rezoning or DRI approval, a two (2) year plan approval extension may be granted by the coordinator within thirty (30) days after receipt of a written request indicating why an extension is necessary and upon the coordinator's review of the project's work schedule and progress. The plan approval shall expire and become null and void at the end of this period if the development authorized has not commenced. Any plan approval not acted upon within the prescribed time limit shall become void and future work shall require a new application.
