Should any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause,
provision or phrase of this chapter be declared by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or invalid, such decision shall
not affect any other portion of this chapter.
This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Mount Vernon."
This chapter shall take effect immediately.
A.
Except as provided in this section, nothing herein shall require
any change in the plans, construction or designated use of a building
or structure for which a building permit has been lawfully issued
prior to or, under the circumstances noted below, within 60 days after
the effective date of this chapter, provided that the proposed use
complies with the use requirements of this chapter, and further provided
that construction shall begin within six months of the date of such
permit; the foundation, or 15%, of the construction valuation shall
be completed within one year of the date of such permit; and the entire
building or structure shall be completed within two years of the date
of such permit.
B.
In addition, if the Building Commissioner determines that an application
(with accompanying construction plans) for a building permit filed
prior to the effective date of this chapter meets all requirements
of the Zoning Ordinance in existence as of the date immediately prior
to the effective date of this chapter, has received all necessary
conditional or final approvals by the City Council or the Board of
Appeals and complies with the use requirements of this chapter, then
the Building Commissioner shall issue all necessary permits within
a reasonable time, but not longer than 60 days from such date, provided
that the applicant has taken all steps deemed necessary by the Building
Commissioner to obtain such permit.
C.
Any of the above periods may be increased up to 50% by the Building
Commissioner, on showing of good cause.
D.
Notwithstanding the preceding, the Building Commissioner may require any such plans, construction or use to be subject to the site plan approval procedures as set forth in Article VII of this chapter and to be modified to comply with the requirements of this chapter to the extent that the site plan approving agency determines such compliance to be reasonable and practical.
