3.

A change which would require an amendment to the board of county commissioners conditions of approval.

b.

A request for an alteration to an approved development plan shall be submitted in writing to the zoning department.

The determination of a substantial alteration may be appealed to the board of county commissioners.

c.

Alterations determined to be substantial must submit plans and support data (following the development plan requirements) for review by the development review committee and final action by the board of county commissioners.

(Ord. No. 97-03, § 12, 2-25-97)

d.

Alterations determined to be nonsubstantial will be reviewed by the zoning department, the planning department and the engineering department after receipt of the initial letter. Additional plans and support data may be requested. Approval of a nonsubstantial alteration shall require confirmation by the board of county commissioners.
