A.

After a site plan review application has been approved, modification of the approved plans and/or any conditions imposed, including additions or deletions, may be considered by the City Manager or the Planning Commission. The City Manager or his designee shall have the authority to review and act upon minor modifications, and the Planning Commission shall have the authority to review and act upon major modifications, as prescribed in the following paragraphs. The City Manager shall establish criteria for minor and major modifications.

B.

Any property owner, or his designated representative, seeking to modify an approved site plan review shall notify the City Manager of the intent. The property owner shall provide the City Manager, or his designee, with two copies of the modified plans and a written description of the proposed modifications. The City Manager, or his designee, shall determine whether the proposed modifications are considered minor modifications or major modifications.

C.

Minor modifications may be approved by the City Manager, or his designee, as an administrative item and shall not require a public hearing or notice. Evidence of an approved minor modification shall be provided in writing to the property owner and shall be filed with the original site plan review approval. An action of the City Manager to deny a request for minor modification may be appealed by the applicant to the Planning Commission as provided for in Chapter 17.55 of this title.

D.

Major modifications shall be considered a new project. As such, a new application for site plan review shall be required, and the application shall be reviewed as provided for in this chapter.

E.

Upon approval of the Building Official of the final grading plans for a project that has received site plan review approval, the applicant shall submit the grading plans to the City for review and approval as a precondition of issuance of a grading permit. Such review will require a public hearing before the Planning Commission if the final grading plans represent a major modification of the project.
