In the review of activities proposed in riverfront area or bordering land, no permit issued hereunder shall permit any activities unless the applicant, in addition to meeting the otherwise applicable requirements of this Bylaw or regulations hereunder, has proven by a preponderance of the evidence that (1) there is no practicable alternative to the proposed work or project with less adverse effects, and that (2) such activity, including proposed mitigation measures, will have no significant adverse impact on the resource areas or resource area values protected by this Bylaw. The Commission shall regard as practicable an alternative which is reasonably available and capable of being done after taking into consideration the proposed property use, overall project purpose (e.g., residential, institutional, commercial, or industrial purpose), logistics, existing technology, costs of the alternatives, and overall project costs.

A permit shall expire three (3) years from the date of issuance. A permit may be renewed for up to three years, provided that a request for a renewal is received in writing by the Commission not less than 30 days prior to expiration. The Commission may deny the request for an extension and require a new Notice of Intent in the following circumstances:

1. where no work has begun on the project;

2. where new information, not available at the time the permit was issued, has become available and indicates that the permit is not adequate to protect the resource area values protected by this Bylaw;

3. where incomplete work is causing damage to the resource area values protected by the Bylaw; or,

4. where work has been done in violation of the permit.
