A-1 Title 1—General Provisions Chapter 1.08 Organization, Applicability, and Interpretation Section 1.08.116 Effect of this Code on Approved Projects and Projects in Process A. Approved Projects. 1. No provision of this Code shall require any change in the plans, construction, or designated use of any structure for which a building permit has been issued prior to the effective date of this Code or any subsequent amendment. 2. Use permits, Planned Developments, and other discretionary approvals, any of which are valid on the effective date of this Code, shall remain valid until their expiration date. These projects can be built in accord with the conditions of approval in effect at the time of approval, provided that the approval is valid at the time building permits are issued and that such a permit is subject to any time limits imposed pursuant to the Uniform Building Code, adopted by the City. Unless otherwise expressly established in a use permit, variance, Planned Development or other discretionary zoning approval, the use permit, variance, Planned Development or other discretionary approval shall lapse one year after the effective date of this Code unless, by that date: a. A complete application for a building permit has been accepted; or b. A certificate of occupancy has been issued; or c. The use is established; or d. An extension of time has been duly approved by the City. 3. Any reapplication for an expired permit must meet the standards in effect at the time of reapplication. 4. Any modification of a valid permit issued prior to the effective date of this Code that results in a change in use that affects more than 10 percent of the floor area or an increase in square footage by more than 10 percent of the floor area shall be approved only as a conditional use under the provisions of Chapter 5.08 Use Permits and Variances. In no case may an increase in excess of 2,500 square feet be allowed.
