17.126.170  Amendment to the Development Plan.

     A. Any request to make a major change to an approved Development Plan shall be processed as a new application for rezoning to the PUD District as outlined in Sections 17.126.040 and 17.126.050 of this Chapter. The following would be considered major changes to the Development Plan:
     1.  Increased density;
     2.  Decreased perimeter setbacks;
     3.  Major changes in building location, arrangement of parking, or open space;
     4.  Change in unit type (townhouse to apartments, etc.):
     5.  Projects over 20 acres:
     a.  Over 10% reduction in area of open space;
     b.  Over 10% increase in lot coverage;
     6.  Projects under 20 acres:
     a.  Over 5% reduction in area of open space;
     b.  Over 5% increase in lot coverage.
    
No major change shall occur unless the Board of County Commissioners, after review by the Planning Commission, finds that the proposed major change is consistent with the efficient development and preservation of the entire Planned Unit Development, does not affect in a substantially adverse manner either the enjoyment of land abutting upon or across a street from the Planned Unit Development or the public interest, and is not granted solely to confer a special benefit upon any person.
     B. The Planning Director may approve minor modifications from the recorded Development Plan in the approval of a Plot Plan. Such minor changes shall be limited to siting of buildings, interior access or arrangement of parking, open space, and/or errors of a clerical, typographical, or format nature. The applicant shall substantiate to the Planning Director that the minor modification is required by engineering or other circumstances not foreseen during the approval of the Development Plan. The Planning Director shall not approve a minor modification if the modification does not substantially conform to the approved Development Plan.
