    It is the duty of the planning staff to issue a zoning permit after discretionary or ministerial review, provided the staff is satisfied that the structure, building or premises and proposed use thereof conform with all the requirements of this title, including compliance with all objective standards that apply, and that all other reviews and actions, if any, called for in this title have been complied with and all necessary approvals secured. The planning staff may impose reasonable conditions of approval, provided those conditions of approval are objective and broadly applicable to development and land uses within the town.

    The Planning Commission may revoke or modify any zoning permit, conditional use permit or other permit, approval, or entitlement on any one or more of the grounds named in this section, after a hearing held and conducted as provided in Chapter 17.032.

   (A)   The Planning Director has the authority to approve minor modifications to approved plans without notice or a public hearing if they are consistent with the original findings and conditions of approval and do not involve an increase in the number of dwelling units or the floor area for a non-residential use, a change that would affect compliance with an objective zoning standard or objective design standard, or a change that would negatively impact infrastructure or utilities or burden circulation adjacent to the project site.

   (B)   The Planning Director, at his or her discretion, may refer a request for approval of a minor modification that may generate substantial public interest to the Planning Commission rather than acting on it himself or herself.

(Prior Code, § 17.14.080) (Ord. 352, passed - -1973; Am. Ord. 885, passed 11-1-2023)

   (D)    The use, building, or structure has been substantially expanded beyond what was set forth in the original permit, thereby causing substantial adverse impacts on the surrounding neighborhood;

   (E)   There is or has been a violation of, or failure to observe or comply with, any applicable objective zoning standards or objective design standards, the terms or conditions of the permit, the terms or conditions of any applicable density bonus agreement or agreement for continued affordability for affordable housing, or the use has been conducted in violation of the provisions of this title, law or regulation; and

   (F)   The use to which the permit applies has been conducted in a manner detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare or so as to be a nuisance.

(Prior Code, § 17.14.090) (Ord. 352, passed - -1973; Am. Ord. 885, passed 11-1-2023)

   (C)    One or more of the original conditions of the permit or variance is unworkable, impractical or otherwise fails to accomplish the original aims and ensure compliance with the standards and regulations of this title.

(Prior Code, § 17.14.100) (Ord. 352, passed - -1973; Am. Ord. 885, passed 11-1-2023)

    Proceedings for the revocation or modification may be initiated, and shall be set for hearing, noticed, heard and determined in substantially the same manner as provided in Chapter 17.032 of this title. A request for a minor modification may be acted on by the Planning Director without notice or a public hearing.
