1127.10 VARIATIONS TO AN APPROVED GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT.

   (a)   Minor Variations. Minor variations from an approved General Development Concept may be approved by the Planning Commission upon finding that the variations are generally in keeping with the spirit and concept of the approved General Development Concept, in accordance with the conditions required by the City Council in its approval, and in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter. For the purposes of this Section, a minor variation shall include:

      (1)   Small, incidental alterations to the location or number of spaces in off-street, surface parking lots.

      (2)   Small, incidental construction of accessory structures;

      (3)   Incidental increases/decreases in the square footage of principal buildings. Any increase in the overall number of permitted dwelling units shall not be considered a minor variation;

      (4)   Minor alterations in the placement of dwelling units within a phase of the overall project;

      (5)   Minor design modifications that will have no discernible impact on neighboring properties, the public, or those intended to occupy or use the proposed development.

   (b)   Other than Minor Variations. All variations contained on a development plan that are not described in this chapter shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission. If the Planning Commission finds that such variations are generally in keeping with the spirit and concept of the approved General Development Concept, in accordance with any required conditions, and in accordance with the requirements of this Chapter and this Code, the Planning Commission shall approve such variations.

   (c)   If approval of any variations to a General Development Concept result in a necessary change to existing zoning or previously authorized development agreements, the Planning Commission must forward the revised General Development Concept and any relevant zoning amendments or revised development agreements to City Council for review and approval.

   (d)   Upon receiving a recommendation from the Planning Commission for approval of any zoning amendments or development agreements necessary for the proper execution of a revised General Development Concept, the City Council will review the General Development Concept. Any zoning amendments shall be done in accordance with procedures spelled out within section 1139.03 of the Huron Planning and Zoning Code. Any development agreements shall be authorized in the manner of a Resolution.

   (e)   Failure on the part of the Developer to conform to said plans included within the General Development Concept, and/or applicable Municipal requirements and/or the terms and conditions of the City's approval shall be grounds for action by the City.

   (f)   Amendments to a General Development Concept. Amendments to a General Development Concept, whether by the original applicant or subsequent applicants, shall be submitted and reviewed in accordance with procedures set forth in this Chapter regarding Conformity to Standards, General Development Concepts, and Procedures for Approval.
