(1) If the city finds that construction of single-unit housing was not completed in accordance with ORS 307.651 (3)(b), the city may extend the deadline for completion of construction for a period not to exceed an additional 24 consecutive months if the city further finds that:
(a) The failure to complete construction was due to circumstances beyond the control of the owner; and
(b) The owner had been acting and could reasonably be expected to act in good faith and with due diligence.
