(a) Mutual Consent of Council and Applicant Required. An approved final PUD development plan and any conditions imposed upon final PUD approval shall not be changed except upon the mutual consent of the City Council and the applicant except as otherwise noted below.
(b) Minor Amendments. A minor change may be approved by the Community Development Director in conjunction with the Chair of the Planning Commission who shall notify the Planning Commission of the minor change and that such change does not substantially change the basic design or alter the conditions for the plan by the Commission.
The following items shall be considered as minor changes:
(1) Reduction of the size of any building and/or sign.
(2) Movement of buildings and/or signs by no more than ten feet.
(3) Replacements of plantings approved in the site plan landscape plan with similar types of landscaping.
(4) Changes of building materials to a higher quality.
(5) Changes in floor plans which do not alter the character of the use.
(6) Internal rearrangement of a parking lot which does not affect the number of parking spaces or alter access locations or design.
(7) Changes required or requested by the City for safety reasons.
(8) Changes which will preserve the natural features of the site without changing the basic site layout.
(9) Other similar changes of a minor nature proposed to be made to the configuration, design, layout or topography of the site plan which are deemed by the Community Development Director to be not material or significant in relation to the entire site and which the Community Development Director determines would not have any significant adverse effect on adjacent or nearby lands or the public health, safety and welfare.
The Community Development Director may refer any decision regarding any proposed change to an approved site plan to the Planning Commission for review and approval (regardless of whether the change may qualify as a minor change). In making a determination as to whether a change is a minor change, or whether or not to refer a change to the Planning Commission for approval, the Community Development Director may consult with the Chairperson of the Planning Commission.
(c) Resubmission. Should the Community Development Director determine that the requested modification to the approved site plan is not minor, resubmission to the Planning Commission for an amendment shall be required and conducted in the same manner as an original application.
