A. Unless otherwise specifically provided for in this title, development
permits shall automatically expire and become null or void, and all activities
pursuant to such permit thereafter shall be deemed in violation of this title,
if the applicant:
1. Fails to inaugurate the project;
2. Fails to pursue the project to completion;
3. Fails to satisfy any condition that was imposed as part of
the original or revised approval of the development application or that was
made pursuant to the terms of any development agreement, within the time limits
established therein for satisfaction of such condition or term; or
4. Fails to present a subsequent development application required
by this title within the time required or as may be required by law.

20.30.020 Extension procedures.
An extension of up to one additional year may be granted by the
hearing body who originally approved the permit provided the applicant makes
application, files the applicable fee and submits written justification showing
good cause for the extension at least 45 days prior to expiration. Good cause
shall include showing diligent work toward completion of the project. Good cause
does not include poor lot sales on recorded phases, lack of financing for the
subdivision, or delay because of engineering or design problems. No further
extension may be granted by the director or by the final hearing body except
as provided by an adopted development agreement or by law. (Ord. 763, 1996;
