A. An approved preliminary development plan may be modified by submitting an application for such modification according to the same procedure as is required in the initial review and approval of said plan.

B. The flexibility of code requirements ordinarily required in other zones permitted in any initial approval of a PCD zone shall not be considered as a precedent setting, or as a lone compelling reason for approving any modification.

C. Any application for a modification to an approved preliminary plan may be approved only after it has been found that it does not deviate from the intent and purpose of this zone and the required findings in Section 17.54.070 can be made.

D. The planning director shall have the authority to administratively approve minor changes, modifications, alternations, deviations, or substitutions to an approved preliminary development plan with respect to colors, materials, architectural elevations, landscape plans and other physical changes of a similar nature provided any such change does not alter any use, environmental mitigation measure, condition of approval or substantially affect the basic character of the architecture or landscape architecture as established in the planning commission or city council’s approval of the project. Such minor changes, modifications, alterations, deviations, or substitutions to an approved preliminary or final development plan shall be reported to the planning commission at its next regular meeting. At that time, the planning commission may accept the planning director’s report, may further modify the planning director’s approved changes or may direct staff to set the matter for hearing in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17.64 of this code.
