§ 17.52.060. Lapse of variance or appeal.

If the rights authorized by a variance or appeal are not exercised within one year from the date of granting, they shall lapse; provided, however, that the board of appeals in its discretion and upon written application by the grantee of such right may extend the time for exercise of such rights for a period not to exceed six months; and provided further, that the application for such extension is filed with the board of appeals prior to the expiration of such one-year period. If the board of appeals does not grant such extension within thirty days of the date of application thereof, and upon the expiration of the original one-year period, such rights may be reestablished only after notice and a new hearing pursuant to the provisions of this section.
