Chapter 17.130 — AMENDMENTS TO PROJECTS

• A. Unless considered a minor amendment (see subsection B of this section), all amendments to previously approved entitlements require the submittal of a new land use application and are subject to the Zoning regulations currently in place.

• B. The types of minor amendments set forth in this subsection to projects are permitted without a new application. Limited minor amendments to previously approved entitlements may be approved by the Community Development Director, as follows:

  1. Floor plan changes which do not result in more than a 10% or 5,000 square foot change in total square footage, whichever is less;

  2. Parking and circulation configurations which do not change the basic parking areas or circulation concept;

  3. Outside building configurations which do not create a greater bulk or scale, or significantly alter window or door placement;

  4. Building placements which do not change the general location of the building and layout of the site;

  5. Grading alterations which do not change the basic concept, increase slopes or building elevations, or change course of drainage, which could adversely affect adjacent or surrounding properties;

  6. Landscape modifications which do not alter the general concept or reduce the effect or amount originally intended;

  7. Architectural changes which do not change the basic form and theme and are consistent with adopted design standards;

8. Exterior material or color changes which do not conflict with the original architectural form and theme, and which are consistent and compatible with the original materials and colors.

In addition to the guidelines set forth in Section 17.130.010(B) of this chapter, the Community Development Director must determine that the circumstances, standards, ordinances, conditions and findings applicable at the time of the original approval still remain valid. (Ord. 247, 1/15/2025)

The Community Development Director may refer any minor amendments or modifications to the Planning Commission or City Council (depending on the approval authority for the original approval) for recommendations prior to his final decision. (Ord. 247, 1/15/2025)
