18.180.060 Amendments of approved plans.
A. Changed Plans. Amendments to a PAD District or PAD plan may be requested by the applicant or its successors. Amendments to an approved PAD plan shall be classified as major or minor amendments. Upon receipt of an amendment application, the zoning administrator shall determine if the proposed amendment constitutes a major or minor amendment.
B. Major Amendments. Any major amendment to the PAD shall be reviewed by the zoning administrator to determine if the proposed changes will be processed as a new application, or an amendment to the existing plan requiring modifications to only portions of the PAD plan. An amendment will be deemed major if it involves one or more of the following changes:
1. A change in the exterior boundary of the PAD District that is 10 percent or more of the existing PAD boundary;
2. An increase in the number of dwelling units for the PAD District that is more than 10 percent greater than the maximum stated in the PAD plan;
3. A 10 percent increase in trip generation per a traffic impact analysis (TIA) report;
4. Any change in parks, public recreation areas, or school sites that is likely to negatively impact or burden the city’s ability to provide parks and recreational facilities or the school district’s ability to serve the future school-age population;
5. Any change in phasing or timing that would have a significant impact on the completion of infrastructure improvements, parks, public recreation areas or school districts;
6. Any change in land use or density that is likely to have a negative impact or create a burden on public facilities and utilities infrastructure;
7. Any change resulting in a 20 percent or more increase in the allowable height of buildings, or increase to the number of stories allowed;
8. Any change in land use or density that is likely to negatively impact or burden circulation adjacent to the PAD District or the overall major street system, as determined by the city engineer; or
9. Any other proposed change to the PAD plan or the conditions of approval that substantively alters one or more of its components with potentially significant adverse consequences, as determined by the zoning administrator.
C. Minor Amendments. Amendments not meeting one or more of the criteria listed in subsection (B) of this section shall be considered minor if they are consistent with the original findings and conditions of approval. Minor amendments may be approved by the zoning administrator. The zoning administrator may, at his/her discretion, refer any request for an amendment to a PAD plan that may generate substantial public interest to the planning and zoning commission for a decision. Amendments to an approved PAD are considered minor and may be approved by the zoning administrator. Minor PAD amendments include, but are not limited to:
1. Changes in phasing, including the size and number of housing units in individual development units provided there is not a significant change in the overall development program that results in an increase in the number of units and/or nonresidential floor area.
2. Any change resulting in less than a 20 percent increase in the allowable height of buildings.
3. Changes in the location and size of a school site provided the appropriate school district approves such a change in location and acreage.
4. Changes in the location and size of individual park sites provided the total park acres is not reduced and city standards for park service areas continue to be met with such changes.
5. Changes in the location or alignment of proposed roadways and other plan modifications to comply with adopted city policies. Should the proposed changes potentially impact surrounding uses, the zoning administrator shall determine if the request is processed as a major or minor amendment.
