A. If the adopted recommendations require the meeting of conditions, construction of improvements, or time is necessary for the obtaining of required certifications, then the approval action shall be preliminary approval. Preliminary approvals shall be for two years whereby the conditions of approval and required improvement shall be accomplished. If good cause is shown and a written request is received at least two weeks prior to the deadline, the mayor may grant the applicant one additional 12-month time extension for meeting conditions of approval and/or construction of improvements.

B. Exception. Effective until June 1, 2010, the applicant or agent of record for any unexpired short subdivision approval granted on or before the effective date of the ordinance codified in this section, or expired short subdivision valid as of January 1, 2009, may submit a written application in the form of a letter with supporting documentation to the development and business services department requesting an additional one-time, one-year time extension. The extension for a currently unexpired short subdivision shall be one year from the expiration date, for a total of two one-year extensions. The extension for an expired short subdivision shall be valid for one year from the date of the retroactive extension approval. The mayor shall make a decision using the procedures set forth for extensions in this section. (Ord. 3399 § 2 (Exh. A), 2021; Ord. 2824 § 2, 2010; Ord. 2463 § 12, 2003; Ord. 1314 § 12, 1983)
