Changes in approved plan.
Minneapolis Code of Ordinances § 550.1010
in effect550.1010. - Changes in approved plan.
(a) Minor changes. Notwithstanding section 550.1000, the zoning administrator may authorize minor changes in the placement and size of improvements, or may authorize the substitution of a substantially similar amenity for an approved amenity, within an approved planned unit development if the zoning administrator determines that the changes are consistent with the intent of this chapter and the findings made by the city planning commission in connection with the approval of the planned unit development.
(b) Other changes. Changes to the development plan other than minor changes in the placement and size of improvements shall require amendment to the planned unit development by the city planning commission. The elimination of any amenity, or substitution of any amenity that is not substantially similar to an approved amenity provided for an alternative to the zoning code, as allowed in section 550.1050, shall require an amendment to the planned unit development by the city planning commission. The requirements for application and approval of a planned unit development amendment shall be the same as the requirements for original approval. Where only one (1) change to the development is made that is deemed an amendment to the planned unit development, including the addition of a use that is a conditional use permit in the zoning district in which the planned unit development is located, or revisions to the master sign plan, and where staff determines that the change will not require substantial staff time or reevaluation of the planned unit development, then the applicant may be charged the application fee for a conditional use permit, rather than the fee for a conditional use permit for planned unit developments, as listed in Table 525-1, Fees.
(c) Planned unit developments existing before the adoption of the ordinance. Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter, planned unit developments approved before the adoption of this ordinance shall only be required to provide amenities for any alternatives requested as a part of the amendment, or as required as a part of previous approvals.
