§ 9.62.010. Revocation of a variance, conditional use permit or nonconforming use. ¶

The planning commission, on their own motion or if instructed by the city council, and without the filing of an application, may revoke any previously granted variance, conditional use permit or nonconforming use after a public hearing if the commission finds:

A. That such variance, conditional use permit or nonconforming use was obtained by fraud; or
B. That such variance, conditional use permit or nonconforming use is not being exercised; or
C. That such variance, conditional use permit or nonconforming use has ceased or has been suspended for one year or more; or
D. Except in the case of a dedicated cemetery, that any person making use of or relying upon such a variance, conditional use permit or nonconforming use:
1. Is violating or has violated any conditions of said variance, conditional use permit or nonconforming use; or
2. That the use for which said variance, conditional use permit or nonconforming use was granted or permitted is being, or recently has been, exercised contrary to the terms or conditions of such approval, or in violation of any statute, ordinance, law or regulation; or
E. Except in the case of a dedicated cemetery, that the variance, conditional use permit or nonconforming use is so exercised as to be detrimental to the public health or safety, or so as to be a nuisance.
F. If any provision of said variance or conditional use permit is held or declared to be invalid, said variance or conditional use permit shall be void and all privileges granted thereunder shall lapse.
