64.1. A decision of the commission authorizing a use for a purpose other than agriculture or authorizing the felling of maple trees becomes null five years after having been rendered if, within that time, the use so authorized has not begun.

The use is deemed never to have begun where the lot concerned by the authorization was uncropped at the time of the authorization of the commission and remained uncropped for five years following that authorization, except if the authorized use involves leaving the lot uncropped.

A decision of the commission authorizing a subdivision, acquisition or alienation becomes null five years after having been rendered if, within that time, the application for registration of the act confirming that subdivision, alienation or acquisition has not been filed with the Land Registry Office.

When rendering its decision, the commission may modify the time limit where circumstances warrant it.

This section does not apply to a decision of the commission rendered following an application of collective scope made under section 59 or following an application concerning a public utility use filed by a municipality, a community, a department, a public agency or an agency providing public utility services.
