Board denies time‑extension for SC Plaza conditional‑use permit after applicant unresponsive, 6–1

The Board of Supervisors voted on Aug. 19 to deny (R25‑198) a request to extend the time limit for a conditional‑use permit application for a project known as SC Plaza (auto sales in a B‑2 district). Planning staff told the board the applicant had the plan in their possession about 14 months and had not responded to county comments since January. Planner Brian Gooch said the county’s own review time totaled about 5½ months, but staff could not validate two of the three reasons the applicant cited to justify the extension.
