CHAPTER 60 - INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS

Printable Version

60.150 VESTING OF RIGHTS:

A permit or license issued in conflict with the provision of this ordinance shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever.  Where a landowner has, in good faith and in reliance upon a permit issued in error, begun construction, the matter shall be referred to the Council for disposition.

60.151

Permits and certificates are valid only for the development specified therein.  Conditions attached to an approved development permit are given the same force as if they appeared in the text of the Zoning Ordinance.  A development permit is permanent in nature unless the approving body or this Ordinance limits its effective period.  An approved permit or certificate is assignable, but an assignment does not discharge any assignee from any obligation owed any local governmental unit in connection with the development, unless the applicable unit of government consents to the discharge.

60.152

Applications for permits or certificates which may be affected by proposed amendments to this ordinance shall not be approved unless the zoning administrator is satisfied that the proposed development will meet the requirements of the existing ordinance as well as the proposed ordinance language.

60.153

Changes in the zoning ordinance that become effective after an application for a certificate or permit has been filed but before the certificate or permit has been issued apply to the pending application unless the amendment provides otherwise or it is determined that the former ordinance should be made applicable in a particular case in the interest of justice.  The mere filing of an application for a zoning certificate, development permit, or variance confers no rights upon the applicant, petitioner, or appellant.

60.154

If this zoning ordinance is amended to prohibit or change the standards applicable to a development authorized by a certificate or permit, the permit becomes void by operation of the law on the effective date of the amendment, unless the ordinance establishing the amendment provides otherwise or the applicant, in good faith and in reliance upon the permit, within ninety (90) days, began construction subsequent to the issuance of the permit but before adoption of the amendment.
