Yolo County Municipal Code Art. 6 Amendments and Minor Modifications to Approved Flood Hazard Development…

The purpose of this article is to provide procedures for changing the conditions of approval or project description (as described in the application and accompanying analyses) to account for unanticipated changes in the proposed activity, site characteristics, regulations, or other aspects of the approved FHDP. Such changes may constitute either an amendment or minor modification of a permit, as described further below. (as amended by Ord. 1518, eff. February 13, 2020)

Applications for amendments to previously approved FHDPs shall be submitted to the Director, on forms provided by the County, and shall be accompanied by the appropriate fees, as determined in Article 8 of this chapter. Such applications shall be processed pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article 5 of this chapter. (as amended by Ord. 1518, eff. February 13, 2020)

Proposed exceptions to the in-channel standards for material removal constitute an amendment, and may not be included as part of any application for a minor modification. Any changes in the conditions of approval or the amount of surface area and/or depth to be disturbed shall also be treated as a substantial deviation from the approved plan, and shall be processed as an amendment to the FHDP. (as amended by Ord. 1518, eff. February 13, 2020)

The Director may approve minor modifications of FHDPs pursuant to this chapter. A minor modification may only be approved if the Findings for Permit Approval in Section 10-3.504 can be made. If these criteria are not satisfied, an amendment must be pursued instead. Such modifications shall be noted on the approved plans and shall be initialed by the Director. (as amended by Ord. 1518, eff. February 13, 2020)

Amendments shall be acted upon by the County pursuant to the procedures identified in Article 5 of this chapter, as supplemented by this article. (as amended by Ord. 1518, eff. February 13, 2020)
