After the approval of a Site Plan, the developer, individual property owners or property owners wish to make major or minor modifications to site plans. Changes are considered to be either major or minor changes depending on the level of development and redevelopment activity.
(a) Minor Site Plan Changes.
(1) The Zoning Inspector shall review the proposed modifications and shall determine if the scope of the proposed changes is major or minor in nature. To qualify as a minor modification, the Zoning Inspector shall find that proposed modification consists of only activity that is no more intensive than adjusting the size and location of decks, dumpster locations, patios and required screening, fencing, lighting, landscaping and other similar minor adjustments to the site. Minor modifications are also changes that do not increase in the number of housing units in a structure, or increase building size(s) by more than 25% and do not modify approved circulation drives and parking areas.
(2) Minor modifications can be reviewed and approved by the Zoning Inspector. An application for an "Amendment to an Approved Site plan" shall first be filed with the Zoning Inspector and shall include five copies of revised development plans clearly showing the proposed changes. The Zoning Inspector may approve an amended site plan if he or she finds that such changes are not contrary to any issues raised during the initial review of the site plan, or are contrary to any other requirement of this Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Inspector may also approve an amended Site Plan with minor modifications subject to conditions. The Planning Commission shall be advised of all minor changes authorized under the above procedures.
(b) Major Site Plan Changes. Major Changes to Site Plans (those that do not meet the requirements above) shall be resubmitted as a new Site Plan.
