Application for a permit shall be made to the community <br />development director or the director's designee on the forms provided.

All permits within this chapter must specify a termination date, not to exceed twelve (12) months from the <br />date of issuance. A permit may be determined to be null and void by the community development director if it <br />is determined after issuance that false supporting information was filed with the permit application.
