(a) In the development of a planned development district, it is recognized that the flexibility of such plan is desirable and that from time to time amendments to the general plan may be appropriate. Accordingly, if at any time an owner or owners of the property within a planned development district shall determine that amendments to the general plan are appropriate, such owner or owners must file an application for amendment with the Planning and Zoning Commission.
(b) Such application shall include a description of the amendment requested, a statement of the reasons for such amendment, and a final development plan for the area in which the amendment is requested.
(c) Such amendment shall be granted in accordance with the procedures established in this Zoning Code and the Ohio Revised Code. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall not approve any amendment unless:
(1) No applicable general requirements are violated by the amendment requested.
(2) Though the type of dwelling unit to be constructed within an area may be changed by the amendment, the number of dwelling units to be constructed in the area shall not be materially increased from that shown on the general plan.
(3) All of the yard and related requirements applicable to use which is permitted by the amendment are shown as compiled by the final development plan.
(4) The character of the area of the planned development district as amended is not adversely affected by the proposed amendment.
(5) The applicant establishes that when all circumstances are considered that part of the original plan desired to be amended is impractical or not feasible.
(d) If the amendment is approved, the final development plan submitted with the application shall be the final development plan for the area covered thereby and the Planning and Zoning Commission shall be authorized to issue its approval of the final development plan as amended, if all other conditions and requirements have been met for buildings or structures to be constructed in accordance with the final development plan as amended.
