2. Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the General Plan <br />or Zoning Code. <br />3. Granting of the time extension would not be contrary to the original <br />reasons for the granting of the change of zone. <br />4. The time extension granted shall be for a period not to exceed the period <br />originally granted for performance (i.e., a condition to be performed <br />within one year may be extended for up to one additional year). <br />5. If the applicant should require an additional extension of time, the <br />Planning Director shall submit the applicants' request to the County <br />Council for appropriate action. <br />Currently, following an applicant's written request for an administrative time <br />extension, Planning Department staff conducts a thorough review to verify compliance <br />with conditions of the original ordinance and confirms that the request meets the criteria <br />for granting an administrative time extension listed above. <br />When necessary, the Planning Department has requested more specific <br />justification for how the request meets criterion number one (1) or to require completion <br />of conditions of approval such as payment of water commitment fees, etc. If the applicant <br />has exceeded the timeframe allowed for requesting an administrative time extension, the <br />Planning Department forwards the request to the Planning Commission and County <br />Council. <br />Finally, if the request is deemed complete and all criteria are satisfied, the <br />Planning Director does not have the authority to approve an administrative time extension <br />beyond the amount of time originally granted, in accordance with criteria number five (5) <br />and any further extension of time would require approval of the County Council. <br />As with any other proposed condition of approval, the County Council, as the <br />decision -making body, currently has the ability to modify or remove this administrative <br />time extension condition and require that the applicant present any request for a time <br />extension directly to the County Council through the Planning Commissions. <br />PLANNING DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION <br />The County Council has always had the authority to add or remove conditions of <br />rezones that are recommended by the Planning Director and Planning Commissions.
