A. Request for modification—classification as major or minor.
1. A request to modify the terms and conditions of a site plan and design review permit may be made by filing an application for modification. A request for modification is discretionary and is not the automatic right of an applicant. If the project is located in a historic district or involves a landmark, a proposed modification is classified as either major or minor by the preservation director. If the project is not located in a historic district and does not involve a landmark, a proposed modification is classified as either major or minor by the design director. The classification of a modification as major or minor does not require notice or hearing. The classification of a modification as major or minor is final and not subject to reconsideration or appeal.
2. A major modification is one that will result in any one of the following:
a. The deletion of a condition of approval;
b. A change to a condition of approval that prevents or substantially alters its intended outcome; or
c. A substantial change to exhibits (e.g., site plans, architectural plans, landscape plans, design specifications, etc.) that accompany the permit.
3. A minor modification is one that is not classified as a major modification.
B. Decisionmaking.

b. Decision and findings. Approval of a major modification is made at the director level and based on the findings in section 17.808.140. Approval may include the imposition of new or different conditions as determined to be necessary or appropriate to make the required findings.
2. Minor modifications.
a. Decision-maker. If the development project is located within a historic district or involves a landmark a request for a minor modification is subject to review by the preservation director.
