   (b)   Required permits may be issued by the City Community Development Director, and the developer may proceed with the project provided:
      (1)   A final site condominium project plan has been approved by the City Council and the approved plan signed by the City Clerk and Mayor.
      (2)   All conditions to commencement of construction imposed by the City Council have been met; and

1272.08 REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF CHANGES TO APPROVED SITE CONDOMINIUM PROJECT.
   Any change proposed in connection with a project for which a final site condominium project plan has previously been approved by the City Council shall be subject to review as provided by this section:
   (a)   Any change that constitutes a major change shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission and reviewed and approved by the City Council as provided by this chapter for the original review and approval of preliminary and final plans.
   (b)   Any change that constitutes a minor change shall be reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission alone without the need for a City Council review.

Further, all major changes to a project shall be incorporated by reference in the master deed.

Upon application, the City Council, after recommendation by the Planning Commission, may permit a variance or variances which are reasonable and within the general policies and purposes of this chapter. The Planning Commission and City Council may attach conditions to the variance.
