Site Plan Amendments are a tool to use when an applicant needs to make a minor change to an approved site plan that requires review and approval by multiple departments.  Site Plan Amendments can be submitted at an initial submittal or a resubmittal deadline and are reviewed within the timeframe of that single cycle.  There is a fee associated with a Site Plan Amendment of $250 for each Site Plan Amendment submitted. 

Site Plan Amendments are NOT permitted if a change:   

• Changes the plan such that sureties will be increased;

• Deletes, or alters a condition of approval of the original site plan;

• Increases the density of a development, increases the square footage of non-residential buildings, or increases or decreases the number of stories of a building;

• Deletes required landscaping materials or required open spaces;

• Changes the plan for historic structures or sites;

• Significantly changes the drainage, streets, or other engineering design;

• Incorporates a change that adversely impacts stormwater quality, quantity, or other stormwater management requirements;

• Alters the proposed use or uses; or

• Increases the overall area of the development.

Any change that meets the criteria on this list will be required to submit a full site plan revision, complete with a new pre-application submittal.

To begin the Site Plan Amendment process, the following components are submitted through our Online Application Portal in the original Site Plan application:

1. A narrative letter describing the changes included in the submittal and a notation of the pages that are changing; and

2. A complete submittal of every sheet from the approved site plan set. Each sheet that does NOT include a change should keep the City Stamp on it; every sheet that is changing should remove the City stamp, update the date on the page, and cloud and identify the changes.

Once a Site Plan Amendment is approved, staff will re-stamp the updated pages, to create one single approved document set.  If the Site Plan has not been fully approved through One-Stop before a Site Plan Amendment is submitted, it is the expectation that the outstanding conditions of approval are also met with the Site Plan amendment submittal. The goal is that at the end of the Amendment review, staff can stamp each sheet as approved. Failure to meet all the conditions of approval with a site plan amendment will result in the failure of the submittal.

See the Submittal Schedule for initial and resubmittal dates.
