(A) Applications for amendments to previously approved coastal development permits shall be filed with the Community Development Department. The application shall be in writing and shall contain sufficient detail to adequately assess the nature of the amendment and any potential impacts of the amendment.
(B) Applications for amendments shall be rejected if the proposed amendment would lessen or avoid the intended effect of an approved or conditionally approved permit unless the applicant presents newly discovered material information which could not, with reasonable diligence, have been discovered and produced before the original permit was granted.
(C) If, in the opinion of the Director of Community Development the amendment is of a minor or trivial nature, with no impacts not already assessed in the original permit action, and generally in keeping with the action of the appropriate approving authority, the amendment may be approved by the Director of Community Development. If the Director of Community Development determines that the proposed amendment is immaterial, as described above, notice of such a determination shall be sent to the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission, to each property owner and occupant of property within 100 feet of the property and to all other parties that the Director of Community Development has reason to know who may be interested in the application. If no written objection is received by the Community Development Department within 10 calendar days of sending the notice, the amendment shall be deemed approved. If objections are received, the amendment shall be considered under division (D) of this section.
(D) If in the opinion of the Director of Community Development, the amendment is other than a minor or trivial nature, or may cause impacts not already assessed in the original permit, or is not in keeping with the action of the appropriate approving authority, the amendment shall be taken to the approving authority of the original permit and processed consistent with the original permit procedures.
