Section 6: Section 2-12.24 is added to Article 30 (Administration and Enforcement), Chapter 2 (Zoning), Title II (Zoning and Development) of the Ordinance Code of the City of Pleasanton to read as follows: §2-12.24 Administrative Extension of Approvals. a. Prior to the lapse of any approval granted by an approving body under this Chapter an applicant or his successor may apply to the Zoning Administrator for an extension of said approval for one year. The Zoning Administrator may grant an extension subject to the provisions of this section. No more than two such extensions shall be so granted. Further applications for extension shall be processed as though they were initial applications. An application for extension shall be accompanied by a fee equal to the current fee for an initial application as established by the City Council. An application for extension shall be granted unless the Zoning Administrator determines that there have been either substantial changes in the proposal or that the circumstances surrounding the initial approval have changed. Rather than take action administratively, the Zoning Administrator may forward any application for extension, or any aspect thereof, to the appro- priate approving body as though it were an initial application. In such cases the approving body may grant the extension, modify the approval as originally granted or deny the extension in accord with the purposes and objectives of this Chapter. b. Within five days of the granting of any approval extension under this section, the Zoning Administrator shall forward notice of the action to the Planning Commission and the City Council. Any member of the Planning Commission or City Council may within seven days after such notification request that the action of the Zoning Administrator be reviewed by the appropriate approving body. Such review shall occur at the next available meeting of the appropriate approving body and shall be considered as an action on an initial application for approval under the appropriate provisions of this Chapter. Section 7: This ordinance shall become effective thirty (_30) days after its final passage and adoption. Section 8: This ordinance shall be published once within fifteen (15) days after its adoption in "The Valley Times," a newspaper of general circulation, published in the City of Pleasanton.
