The modification procedure is intended to provide a method whereby minor changes may be made to existing, previously approved land use entitlements, without any additional impact or expansion of use or structure(s).

(Ord. No. 98-193, §§ 1—4, 10-19-98)

The minor modification of a previously approved entitlement requires the approval of the director who may establish additional conditions to further the intent of this chapter. An application for the minor modification shall be on a form prescribed by the director and shall be filed with the department, pursuant to chapter 9.55 (Applications and Fees). Any modification request which exceeds the prescribed limitations outlined in this chapter shall require the filing of a new application and a subsequent hearing by the appropriate review authority.

(Ord. No. 98-193, §§ 1—4, 10-19-98)

The director may grant a minor adjustment to an approved permit, up to a maximum of 30 percent of the standards being modified, governing only the following measurable design/site considerations, which in no case would result in a reduction from any minimum standard outlined in this code:

(a)

On-site circulation and parking, loading and landscaping.

(b)

Placement and/or height of walls, fences and structures.

(c)

Reconfiguration of architectural features and/or modification of finished materials that do not alter or compromise the previously approved theme.

(d)

A reduction in density or intensity of a development project.
