§ 153.490. Time limitation.
Any conditional use granted by Council shall remain valid for a period of two years from the date of its adoption. If the permitted use is not initiated within the two-year period, the conditional use shall automatically expire and terminate without further action of Council or notification of grantee, provided, however, that the grantee may apply to Council for an extension not to exceed one year upon the payment of a nonrefundable fee of six hundred dollars which shall be utilized by the City in processing the extension request. For purposes of this section a "conditional use" shall be deemed initiated, in the case of new development, upon the date either excavation for footers is started or grading begun under building permits issued by the Building Department; a change from an existing use to a conditionally approved use shall be deemed initiated when substantial steps toward the accomplishment of such change of use have begun.
