Item 5 - Memo Page 1 MEMO May 7, 2021 AGENDA ITEM #5 Temporary Exemption to Rules of Procedure Section 7.1 - Expiration of Granted Request SUMMARY: The Zoning Board of Adjustment Rules of Procedure, Section 7.1 – Expiration of Granted Request allows up to one year from the date of approval to apply for a building permit or Certificate of Occupancy on any Variance or Special Exception Use request granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment (Board). Section 7.1 – Expiration of Granted Request: Any special exception or variance granted or authorized by the Board shall authorize the issuance of a building permit and/or a Certificate of Occupancy, as the case may be, for a period of one year from the date of the favorable action of the Board unless said Board shall have in its action approved a different period of time and has so shown such specific period of time in the minutes of its action. If the building permit and/or Certificate of Occupancy shall not have been applied for within said one year period or such extended period as the Board may have specifically granted, then the special exception or variance shall be deemed to have been waived and all rights thereunder terminated. The purpose of this item is to consider a temporary exemption or extension of the one-year expiration on Board approvals due to COVID-19. A three year expiration from the date of approval for all Variance and Special Exception Use requests approved by the Board between January 1, 2019 and January 1, 2022 is proposed.
