3.94.090 Extension of conditional certificate – Required findings – Denial – Appeal.
A. The conditional certificate may be extended by the director for a period not to exceed 24 consecutive months. The owner shall submit a written request stating the grounds for the extension together with a fee of $500.00 for the city’s administrative cost to process the request. The director may grant an extension if the director finds that:
1. The anticipated failure to complete construction within the required time period is due to circumstances beyond the control of the owner; and
2. The owner has been acting, and could reasonably be expected to continue to act, in good faith and with due diligence; and
3. All the conditions of the original contract between the owner and the city will be satisfied upon completion of the project.
B. If an extension is denied, the director shall state in writing the reason for denial and shall send notice to the owner’s last known address within 10 working days of the denial. An owner may appeal the denial of an extension to the hearing examiner by filing a notice of appeal with the city clerk within 14 calendar days after issuance of the notice of the denial. The appeal before the hearing examiner shall follow the provisions of Chapter 2.46 ACC. The hearing examiner’s decision shall be the final decision of the city and is not subject to further appeal.
