A. Approvals of a wetland development permit shall normally be valid for a period of eighteen months from the date of issue and shall expire at the end of that time pursuant to requirements of Chapter 16.84 LMC unless an underlying action such as subdivision approval has a longer approval period, in which case the longer approval period shall apply.

B. An extension of an original approval may be granted upon written request submitted to the city of Lacey at least thirty days prior to the permit expiration date, by the original permit holder or the successor in title. Prior to the granting of an extension, the city of Lacey shall require updated studies and/or additional hearings if, in its judgment, the original intent of the permit is altered or enlarged by the renewal, if the circumstances relevant to the review and issuance of the original permit have changed substantially, or if the applicant failed to abide by the terms of the original permit. (Ord. 1192 §30, 2002; Ord. 912 §1 Sec. 6.2, 1991).
