Amendments
After approval, the owner/developer may seek amendments to the approved permits. Minor amendments to a special permit/site plan may be made with approval by the Building Commissioner. A major amendment, consisting of any changes not approved as a minor amendment, shall be approved by a majority vote of the City Council. It shall be a finding of the City Council, not subject to dispute by the applicant, whether a requested amendment is deemed to be a minor or major amendment. In general, a minor modification shall not produce more than an immaterial increase in the scale of a project nor produce more than an immaterial increase in impact on City services, the environment, or the neighborhood. If it is determined that revisions to a special permit are not minor, per § 650-59 of the Zoning Ordinance, an application for an amended special permit shall be filed, and a public hearing shall be held in the same manner as required for a new application, subject to the fee schedule under Subsection C(3)(f) of § 650-59.
