Final development plans may be amended as follows:
(a) Major Changes. Changes that alter the intent of the final development plan, including increases or decreases in area, increases in density, changes in the location or amount of non-residential land use, reductions of proposed open space, significant redesign of roadways, drainage, and housing type and distribution, shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission for approval as stated in section 1268.21
of this chapter.
(b) Moderate Changes. The Planning and Zoning Administrator, after consultation with the Staff and/or the City Engineer, may authorize structural dimensional changes such as lot lines provided that they do not increase density, changes in building heights by not more than ten feet, and changes in building setbacks by not more than 15 feet, provided the perimeter setbacks, yards and buffers remain in compliance. Moderate changes do not require a Public Hearing or Planning Commission review and approval.
(c) Minor Changes. The Planning and Zoning Administrator, after consultation with the Staff and/or the City Engineer, may authorize minor adjustments in the final development plan that become necessary because of field conditions, detailed engineering data, topography or critical design criteria. The Planning and Zoning Administrator, after consultation with staff and/or the City Engineer, may approve these minor adjustments to revise size and location of drainage ways, sewers, roadways, retaining walls or similar features and to substitute landscape materials in light of technical or engineering considerations. Minor changes do not require a Public Hearing or Planning Commission review and approval.
(d) Nothing in this section shall preclude any property owner to carry out routine maintenance and repair of facilities located within an approved final development plan, provided that such maintenance and repair do not violate the approved final development plan.
