CBC section 105.3.2 and CRC section R105.3.2 is clarified to provide that an application for a permit for any proposed work shall be deemed to have been abandoned 180 days after the date of filing, unless such application has been pursued in good faith or a permit has been issued; except that the building official is authorized to grant one or more extensions of time for additional periods not exceeding 90 days each. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause demonstrated. In order to renew action on an application after expiration, the applicant shall resubmit plans and payment of a new plan review fee, if resubmitted plans need further or initial plan review separate from the original submittal.
