Any conditional use permit which is issued and not utilized within two years from the effective date of the permit, or within such shorter period of time as may be stipulated by the hearing examiner, shall expire. In order for a conditional use permit to be considered as being utilized, there shall be submitted to the city, by the applicant for the permit, a valid building permit application including a complete set of plans in the case of a conditional use permit for a use which would require new construction; an application for a certificate of occupancy and business license in the case of a conditional use permit which does not involve new construction; or, in the case of an outdoor use, evidence that the site has been and is being utilized in accordance with the terms of the conditional use permit. After a use has been established in accordance with the terms of the conditional use permit, a lapse of one year during which the premises are not used for the purposes provided for in the permit shall cause the permit to expire and be of no further consequence. Any conditional use permit approved prior to the enactment of this chapter shall expire two years from the date of approval by the hearing examiner unless the permit has been utilized as provided in LMC 21.24.100 through this section.
