§ 1429-21. Final Development Plan Amendments.

Final development plans may be amended as follows:

(a)

Minor Amendments. The City Planning Commission may authorize minor adjustments in the final development plan that become necessary because of field conditions, detailed engineering data, topography or critical design criteria. More specifically, the City Planning Commission may authorize the Director of City Planning to approve these minor adjustments to revise size and location of drainage ways, sewers, roadways, retaining walls or similar features and to substitute landscape materials in light of technical or engineering considerations. The Director of City Planning may also authorize structural dimensional changes provided that they do not increase building heights by more than 15 feet, gross floor area by more than five percent, decrease the number of parking spaces by more than ten percent or allow buildings closer to perimeter property lines.

(b)

Major Amendments. Amendments to any final development plan other than a minor amendment may be approved only by the City Planning Commission, provided, however, that the City Planning Commission determines that such adjustments do not substantially alter the concept or intent of the approved final development plan. Amendments that change the uses allowed or materially change the density of the development require approval of Council as a zoning map amendment.
