§ 21.05.050. Variances—Expiration—Extension.

If the variance allowed requires further action of the property owner to be effective, and such action is not taken within two years of granting the variance, the variance shall expire. The planning department may prepare and record an expiration document; however, failure to prepare or record an expiration document does not extend the length of variance authorization. The planning commission may extend the period of variance authorization without a public hearing upon a finding that there has been no basic change in pertinent conditions surrounding the property at the time of original approval as long as the request for extension is submitted before the two-year period of authorization expires. If the period of authorization expires without an extension application being filed with the planning department the applicant must again file an original application for variance.
