a. When more than one (1) use permit – including more than one (1) type of use permit – is required by individual sections of these regulations, only one (1) use permit application need be filed and acted upon. If both an administrative use permit or conditional use permit would simultaneously be required by separate sections, one (1) Planning Commission use permit shall be processed to cover all requirements. If an administrative use permit for site development exceptions and/or requests for shared and mixed-use parking reductions and review by the Design Review Committee are required, then only the design review application need be filed.

b. The modification or addition to a use requiring use permit approval shall itself be subject to use permit approval. The addition of an allowed use to a premises occupied by a conditionally allowed use shall require use permit approval of the type required for the existing use. The Director shall determine when such an addition or change is of such a minor or incidental nature that the intent of these regulations can be met without further use permit control.

c. Any conditions established pursuant to these regulations shall be met before the use is established, except that the Director, Planning Commission or on appeal, the Council, may establish a schedule for certain conditions to be met after establishment of the use. Continuance of the use shall then be contingent on complying with the schedule for meeting deferred conditions.

d. If a land use authorized by use permit is not established within one (1) year of the date of approval or such longer time as may be stipulated as a condition of approval, the use permit shall expire. If a structure or associated site development authorized by use permit is not issued building permits (if building permits are required) within three (3) years of the date of approval, the use permit shall expire. Upon written request received prior to expiration, the Director may grant renewals of use permit approval for successive periods of not more than one (1) year each. Approvals of such renewals shall be in writing and for a specific period. Renewals may be approved with new or modified conditions upon a finding that the circumstances under which the use permit was originally approved have substantially changed. Renewal of a use permit shall not require public notice or hearing, unless the renewal is subject to new or modified conditions. In order to approve a renewal, the Director must make the findings required for initial approval. (Ord. #248-2020, S2 (Exh. A))
