I think it will also be <br /> useful if special use permits describe the construction timing <br /> requirements of the Ordinance as a condition of approval. I <br /> recommend the following language be used and that each special <br /> use permit approval be conditioned as follows: <br /> # If any of the conditions affixed hereto or any- part of this <br /> permit shall be held invalid or void, then this permit shall <br /> be void and of no effect. <br /> # This permit shall automatically expire within twelve (12) <br /> months of the date of its approval if the use has not <br /> commenced or construction has not commenced and proceeded <br /> unless a timely application for extension of this time limit <br /> is approved by the Board of County Commissioners as provided <br /> for in Section 8.4 .11 of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance. <br /> These conditions are fairly standard for special use <br /> permits . At some point in time I have talked about their need <br /> with you or perhaps some members of your staff. I had overlooked <br /> documenting those conversations and providing the needed <br /> language. <br />
