4.4.I.2 Extension of Time

a.  Unless otherwise prohibited, the Executive Director of the City Planning Commission may extend the time for expiration of either the plans deadline or the construction/use deadline for a planned development approval for a period not to exceed one (1) year upon a showing of good cause by the applicant. A request for extension shall be made in writing within the original period of validity Any extension that does not meet all of these conditions may only be granted by the City Council in accordance with Paragraph b below.

b.  The holder of a planned development may petition the City Council for an extension of time longer than the Executive Director of the City Planning Commission may authorize. The holder of a planned development may also petition the City Council for a second extension of either or both the plans deadline or the construction/use deadline. A request for extension shall be made in writing within the original period of validity. The City Council shall hold a public hearing and decide whether to extend the time period. Notice for the public hearing is required in accordance with Section 3.3. The applicant and the owner of record of the property shall be notified of a public hearing to be conducted by the City Council. Following the public hearing, the City Council shall render its decision whether to terminate or extend the approval, taking into account hardship to the applicant or property owner, changes in surrounding circumstances that have occurred since the original approval, and the likelihood that substantial construction will occur during any period of extension by motion within sixty (60) days of receipt of the request.
