A. Any development subject to the provisions of this chapter shall be carried out in accordance with the approved plans and any conditions imposed by the review authority, and shall be maintained in conformance as a continuous condition of use and occupancy. The written findings of the review authority shall be retained in the city’s planning files.

B. The building official of the city shall not grant a certificate of use and occupancy or release utilities until satisfied that all improvements and conditions imposed by the review authority on the approved plans have been complied with or until an agreement for improvements and a financial security arrangement, as set forth in TMC 17.20.060(A), has been approved by the city council and filed with the city recorder.

C. Any approval or permit granted pursuant to this chapter shall be deemed automatically revoked if substantial construction or development in conformance with the plan has not occurred within one year of the date of approval, unless an extension of up to six months is granted by the review authority, after written application stating the reasons that the extension is requested.

D. Notwithstanding the time limitations of subsection (C) of this section, a cluster housing project without land division may be approved as phased development, but in no case shall the actual time construction period (i.e., for required public improvements, utilities, streets) for any single phase be greater than three years without reapplying for site plan approval.
