A. Quasi-Judicial Action Effective. Generally, any action to approve, conditionally approve, or deny an application or proposed project by the planning commission shall be effective immediately following expiration of the appeal period.

B. Legislative Action Effective. Legislative actions of the city council normally become effective 30 days from the date of final action and may not be appealed. Therefore, administrative and quasi-judicial permits that are processed in conjunction with, or that are contingent upon, a legislative action shall not be acted upon until the effective date of the required legislative action.

C. Other Approvals. The approval of a land use or development project authorizes the applicant to proceed with the proposed project upon the effective date of the approval, subject to all conditions or restrictions imposed by the approving authority. However, all other permits, licenses, certificates, and other grants of approval to which the proposed development project is subject must be secured before the development or use may commence.

D. Permit Expiration. Unless conditions of approval or other provisions of this zoning code establish a different time limit, any project approval not exercised within one year from the date of final approval shall expire and become null and void, and if the applicant still wishes to pursue the project a new application shall be filed with all requisite fees.

E. Transfer of Permits and Approvals. Land use and development permits and approvals shall be transferable upon a change of ownership of the site, business, service, use, or structure; provided, that the use and conditions of the original permit or approval are fully complied with; and further provided, that the project is not modified, enlarged, or expanded, except for the sale of alcoholic beverages.

F. Termination of a Permit. A permit shall cease to be of any force and effect if the use has ceased or has been suspended for a consecutive period of two or more years. (Ord. 690 § 4 (Exh. A), 2018).
