(A) Plan amendments. A vested plan may be amended if approved by the Planning Commission pursuant to the provisions of this chapter. However, the extent to which the amended plan is vested hereunder is subject to a decision by the Planning Commission as to whether or not the original period of vesting is extended and for how long, or the vested right term is begun anew.
(B) Zoning ordinance amendments. If the City Council later approves overlay zoning that imposes site plan-related requirements on property covered by a vested right, undeveloped portions of the property shall be required to meet the new requirements to the extent that the changes does not affect allowable types, height as it affects density or intensity of uses, or density or intensity of uses as approved through the plan. A change in the zoning district designation or land-use regulations made subsequent to vesting that affect real property does not operate to affect, prevent, or delay development of the real property under a vested Site Specific Development Plan or vested Phased Development Plan without consent of the landowner.
(C) Other changes in law. A vested Site Specific Development Plan or vested Phased Development Plan is subject to later enacted federal, state, or local laws adopted to protect public health, safety, and welfare including, but not limited to, building, fire, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical codes and nonconforming structure and use regulations which do not provide for the grandfathering of the vested right. The issuance of a building permit vests the specific construction project authorized by the building permit to the building, fire, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical codes in force at the time of the issuance of the building permit.
