§ 260-31
Vested rights
- A. Vested rights. An applicant shall have a vested right to have a development application reviewed and approved in accordance with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance in effect at the time that the application for development was submitted if the application meets all of the submittal requirements of the Zoning Ordinance under which it was submitted or was accepted as substantially complete by the Board to which it was submitted.
- B. Time limits for development. The vested rights created by this section shall terminate unless construction of the project shall begin within nine months of the date of final approval and shall be substantially completed within two years of the commencement date of construction; provided, however, that these time periods shall not include time taken for the issuance of required state permits or approvals when evidence exists demonstrating that applications for such permits and/or approvals have been timely made and are pending.
