Additions which comply with the lot and bulk requirements of the underlying
zone.
Such minor modifications shall be consistent with the intent and purpose of this title and
the development plan as approved pursuant to this chapter and shall be the minimum
necessary to comply with the standards of the underlying zoning district or the applicable
building, fire, or engineering code or standard. A minor modification shall not be
approved if the modification reduces a required building setback, authorizes an increase
in lot coverage, or increases building height.
C. Major Modifications: Any modifications to the approved development plan not
authorized by Subsection B shall be considered to be a major modification. The planning
commission or planning director in the case of an administrative planned development,
shall give notice to all property owners consistent with notification requirements located
in chapter 21 A.10 of this title. The planning commission or planning director in the case
of an administrative planned development, may approve an application for a major
modification to the approved development plan, not requiring a modification of written
conditions of approval or recorded easements, upon finding that any changes in the plan
as approved will be in substantial conformity with the approved development plan. If the
commission or planning director in the case of an administrative planned development,
determines that a major modification is not in substantial conformity with the approved
development plan, then the commission or planning director in the case of an
administrative planned development, shall review the request in accordance with the
procedures set forth in this section.
31
D. Other Modifications: Any modification to the planned development that complies with
the standards of the underlying zoning district or overlay zoning district is allowed
provided the modification does not violate a condition of approval or other requirement
placed on the planned development as part of the approval of the application and required
permits and approvals are obtained.
