  • A. Under the provisions of this article, any application considered by the Town shall be reviewed according to the regulations applicable in the Zoning Ordinance in force at the time the application was deemed substantially complete. An application is deemed to be substantially complete with either the issuance of a zoning permit by the Building Official, or the submittal of all necessary forms, filing fees, plans and other documentation required under the provisions of § 185-58 and § 185-60 of this chapter, and its acceptance for filing by the Town Clerk.
  • B. If an application is vested pursuant to this article, such development shall be substantially initiated within six months after approval and diligently prosecuted until completion. The failure to initiate development of the property within this time limit shall render the approval null and void.
