Vested Right The right to undertake and complete the development of a property under the terms and conditions of an approved Site Specific Development Plan, provided, however, failure to abide by such terms and conditions shall result in a forfeiture of vested rights. The vested right is attached to and runs with the applicable property and may be exercised by successors to the original landowner. The period during which a vested right is in affect may be extended by amendments or modifications to the Site Specific Development Plan. An application for an amendment or modification to an approved Site Specific Development Plan shall be treated as a new application. Once established, a vested right supersedes any zoning action which would affect with the type and intensity of use approved in the Site Specific Development Plan, EXCEPT: a) Upon written consent of the landowner; b) Upon findings, after a public hearing, that if the development were to proceed, natural or man- made hazards would pose a serious threat to the public health, safety and welfare; c) To the extent that the landowner is compensated for costs and expenses other than loss of property value; d) Upon findings, after a public hearing, that the applicant or his/her representative(s) intentionally supplied inaccurate or misleading information which led to the approval of the project; or e) Upon findings, after a public hearing, that a change in a State or Federal law or regulation precludes development of the project as approved. Vesting of rights does not preclude the application of overlay zoning districts which impose additional regulations, provided that the regulations are applicable to all property subject to this Ordinance, and the allowable type and intensity of use is not affected. The vested right terminates at the end of the approved vesting period for buildings and uses for which building permits have not been issued. Building permits do not expire during the approved vesting period.
