§ 58-87. Implementation of conditional use permit.

(a)

Subject to subsection (b) of this section, implementation of an activity authorized by a conditional use permit shall begin within 12 months after the date of approval, unless otherwise specified by the town council. Conservation subdivisions are exempt from this time limit (see section 58-83). Failure to implement the conditional use within the time period shall require a reapplication for the permit. Implementation, at a minimum, means that the applicant must demonstrate to the council that substantial progress has been made toward realization of the project.

(b)

Any conditional use permit issued on or after October 1, 1991, shall also be governed by "An Ordinance Implementing the Statutory Vested Right Provisions of G.S. 160A-385.1," codified in chapter 38, article III. Implementation of an activity authorized by a conditional use permit shall begin within 12 months after the date of approval, unless otherwise specified by the council. Failure to implement the conditional use within the time period shall require a reapplication for the permit. Implementation, at a minimum, means that the applicant must demonstrate that substantial progress has been made toward the realization of the project.
