4.6.1 Protective
							Controls
A. Approval of Plan - No building or
							structure shall be erected, constructed, or placed in the Park premises or so
							altered as to change the location, exterior dimensions, or appearance of the
							same unless plans are submitted to and approved by QDC. These plans shall
							conform to the Development Regulations. Plans shall include, but shall not be
							limited to, elevations and construction materials; site development, including
							utilities, grading, drainage, plantings; building location; and locations of
							required yards, walks, drives, parking areas, lighting and signs. The QDC shall
							act upon the plans consistent with §
											4.8     of this Part indicating
							approval, rejection, or recommendations for modifications.
B. Development Restrictions - Any use
							established or changed to, and any building, structure, or land developed,
							constructed or used for, any permitted principal use or accessory use, shall
							comply with all of the standards contained in the Development Regulations. No
							change in standards shall invalidate any existing use if such a use was in
							compliance with standards existing at the time of commencement of that use. If
							any existing use of buildings or other structures is extended, enlarged, or
							reconstructed, the standards shall apply with respect to such extended,
							enlarged, or reconstructed portion or portions of such use, building or
							structure.
C. Commencement of
							Construction - If, after the expiration of six (6) months from the date of
							delivery of a deed from the QDC, a grantee shall not have begun, in good faith
							with reasonably complete arrangements to carry through to completion the
							development of the property pursuant to plans approved by the QDC under the
							foregoing restrictions and provisions, the QDC shall have the option to
							repurchase the property for the price paid by the party which acquired the same
							from QDC. The QDC may extend the six (6) month period whenever it deems it
							desirable to do so. The QDC's option must be exercised in writing within one
							year after it accrues; otherwise, the option shall expire. Any extension
							pursuant to this clause shall extend the QDC's right of repurchase in the same
							manner as contemplated after the expiration of the first six (6)
							months.
D. Subdivision - The
							premises shall not be subdivided without the approval of the QDC, its
							successors and assigns, or its duly authorized representative. No part of the
							Park premises which is left unimproved may be leased, re-sold, or otherwise
							disposed of without being first offered in writing for resale to the QDC at the
							same price per square foot at which any portion of the premises were sold by
							the QDC to the party which acquired the same from the QDC. Land subdivisions
							shall follow the Administrative Subdivision Guidelines found in the Development
							Regulation's Guidance Document.
E.
							Additions to Buildings - Any addition or alteration (interior and exterior) to
							the buildings or future improvements to a site shall conform to these
							regulations and shall be subject to the approval of the QDC.
F. Injunctive Relief - The QDC may obtain
							injunctive relief to enjoin the violations of any of these provisions without
							prejudice to any of its other legal or equitable remedies.
G. Utility Easement - The QDC reserves the
							right to construct underground utility facilities and install and maintain
							pipes and conduits. The QDC also reserves the right to maintain all existing
							utility facilities within existing utility easements. New easements through an
							area shall not be more than twenty (20) feet in width and the subsequent owners
							or any lessees of the premises or any portion thereof, agree to execute any and
							all instruments necessary and reasonable for the further development of the
							premises, including the granting of easements of no more than twenty (20) feet
							in width, provided no such easement shall interfere with any building planned
							for, or constructed on, the premises by the subsequent owner or
							lessee.
H. Construction - The QDC
							shall have the power to interpret the provisions of these regulations, to
							decide any disputes that arise, and to reconcile any inconsistency or omission
							in these regulations in such manner and to such extent as it shall deem
							necessary or desirable. All determinations made by the QDC shall be final and
							binding on all applicants requesting approvals.
I. Plan Approval - Upon the completion of the
							construction of a building or other structure on the premises or property that
							is subject of approval, it shall be conclusively presumed, insofar as any bona
							fide purchaser or mortgagee is concerned, that the location of the building or
							other structure has been approved by QDC and that all plans, specifications and
							details of such buildings or other structures which have been constructed on
							the premises and all other plans and restrictions referred to herein, have been
							approved in writing by QDC unless there shall have been recorded in the Records
							of Land Evidence a notice to the effect that such approval has been
							withheld.
J. Certificate of
							Approval - Upon the granting of any approvals pursuant to the terms of these
							regulations, QDC will stamp the final plans submitted by the applicant with a
							red-ink signed approval block to serve as a Certificate of Approval.
