A.

No application for a permit to construct, alter, demolish or remove any structure or associated feature on a proposed landmark overlay site or area filed subsequent to the date of initiation of proceedings to designate the structure, site or area shall be approved while the proceedings are pending; provided, however, that if final action on the designation has not been completed one hundred eighty days after initiation of designation proceedings, the permit application may be approved, or the city council may extend the suspension for an additional period not to exceed one hundred eighty days.
