Modifications to a PUD.
Long Beach Municipal Code § 21.31.325
in effect21.31.325 - Modifications to a PUD.
The following procedures are established for modifications to an approved PUD:
A. Changes to development plans. The issuance of any building permit, demolition permit, grading permit, utility connection, license, or other approval shall require the construction plans to be consistent with the development plan approved for the PUD by the approval body. Changes to any approved PUD shall require City approval, subject to the following procedure:
1. Minor changes before or during PUD construction. The Zoning Administrator may authorize minor changes to an approved development plan before or during construction of the overall PUD project, if the changes are required because of conditions that were unknown at the time the plan was approved, and the zoning administrator determines that the changes are consistent with the standards of this Chapter and the findings made in connection with approval of the PUD.
2. All other changes. Changes to the development plan before or during construction of the overall PUD project, other than the minor changes the Zoning Administrator can approve, shall require review by the Site Plan Review Committee, or Planning Commission, as applicable, under the procedures of Section 21.21.405 (Modification of permits). This includes increases in building height, reductions in setbacks, significant reconfiguration of internal streets or connections to the public right-of-way, or any other items that, in the judgment of the Zoning Administrator, may significantly differ from the substance or intent of the original PUD approval.
B. Future modification of the PUD. After construction of the PUD project is completed, any changes to the PUD (including all structures and other site improvements) shall require City approval, subject to the following procedure:
1. Minor changes. Any requested alteration or modification to structures or site improvements may be administratively approved by the Zoning Administrator if, in the judgment of the Zoning Administrator, the proposed change is minor in nature, and is within the scope and intent of the original PUD approval.
2. All other changes to the PUD. Any other alteration, modification, or expansion of structures or site improvements shall be reviewed by the Site Plan Review Committee, or Planning Commission, as appropriate. The reviewing body may approve or deny the request, and may impose additional conditions of approval as necessary to ensure that any approved change is consistent with the intent and development standards of the original approval for the PUD.
3. Compliance with development standards. In all cases, alterations, modifications or other expansions within the PUD shall comply with the development standards set forth in this Chapter, and as set forth in the specific approval for the PUD. Any request that is not in conformance with these standards shall require application for a Standards Variance, under the procedures established in Chapter 21.25.
