7 zoning compliance permit does not establish a vested right to develop a project in the absence of an approved Site Specific Development Plan. In 1991 the Zoning Ordinance was amended to include provisions for vested rights . An applicant may request approval of a Site Specific Development Plan which would allow him or her to develop property according to the plan for a period of two to five years. Once a vested right is established, development of a project would not be affected by zoning changes concerning the type and intensity of the use. If a site plan is approved without being vested, the applicant is not entitled to develop the project should zoning regulations change subsequent to plan approval. Issuance of a zoning compliance permit does not extend a vested right. If a site plan approval is followed by a zoning permit and a building permit, then the project is vested, provided the building permit does not expire. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Ordinance would eliminate any question as to the viability of a project without approval of a Site Specific Development Plan.
