<p>Probably. LUPA should bar subsequent enforcement (retraction) of a validly issued permit. See Chelan County v. Nykreim, 146 Wn.2d 904, 52 P.3d 1, (2002). One question to resolve is whether LUPA, enacted in 1995, would apply to a previously-issued permit.<br /></p>

Does the passage of over 20 years in any way bar enforcement? In other words is there a statute of limitations that would bar a governmental agency from enforcing set back requirements?</span></p>
