Salinas Municipal Code Div. 16 Modification of Approved Plans

An applicant may initiate a request for a minor modification of an approved development review application by submitting an application to community planning and development in accordance with Division 2: Application Procedures of this article. Minor modifications must be granted in writing by the city planner prior to the issuance of a building permit for any modified plans. To grant the request, the city planner must determine that the requested modification is substantially in compliance with the original approval plans. Minor modifications shall generally be limited to the following:

(a) A modification that involves minor changes in color, material, signage, design, landscape material, or parking or driveway orientation; or

(b) A modification that involves minor design changes that represent an improvement to previous engineering, site design, or building practices provided the request does not change the character of the project or result in negative impacts to adjoining properties, drainage facilities, or rights-of-way.

(Ord. No. 2463 (NCS).)

All modifications that do not meet the criteria in Section 37-60.1250: Minor modification shall be considered major modifications and shall be subject to the same review procedures established for the original development review application.
