§ 1810. Lapse of variance

A variance shall lapse and shall become void one year following the date on which the variance becomes effective unless by condition of the variance of a greater time is allowed, or unless prior to the expiration of one year, a building permit is issued by the building official and construction is commenced and diligently pursued toward completion on a site which was the subject of the variance application. A variance may be renewed for an additional one year, provided that prior to the expiration of one year from the date when the variance originally became effective, a request for renewal of the variance is made in writing to the planning commission. The commission may grant or deny a request for renewal of a variance.
