§ 24.40.080. Time limits—Expiration.

Knowledge of the time limits and expiration of a critical area review permit is the responsibility of the applicant. The duration of a critical area review permit within critical areas, which includes associated buffers, shall be as follows:

A.

Authorization to undertake regulated uses and activities shall be valid for the specific time period established for any associated development permit (e.g., building permit and special use authorization); or

B.

For permits not associated with any development permit, authorization to undertake regulated uses and activities shall expire if the use or activity for which it is granted a building permit has not been issued within three years of final approval. An extension of the three-year period shall not be permitted; and

C.

The critical area review permit shall also expire when the use or activity specifically allowed through a critical area review permit is vacated for a period of three years.
