§ 27-145. Amendment of applications.

(a)

Requests to amend an application shall be in writing and signed by the owner of record. The request may be submitted only by the applicant (or his authorized representative). The amendment of applications shall be subject to the following:

(1)

Amendments concerning an error, omission of fact, or other factual change not mentioned below in this Section shall be permitted at any time.

(2)

Amendments which change the total area or configuration of a property shall be made before the application is transmitted to the Council. If the area is increased, the appropriate additional filing fee shall be paid.

(3)

Amendments which change the requested zoning classification shall be accompanied by a new (revised) justification statement. The amendment shall also be the subject of a new (revised) Technical Staff Report or a statement by the Technical Staff that a new (revised) report is unnecessary. Requests received prior to the date of the public release of the Technical Staff Report shall be administratively granted. Where the Technical Staff recommends an amendment, the applicant may request the amendment within fifteen (15) days after the date of the public release of the Technical Staff Report, in which case the request shall be administratively granted. If the Planning Board hears the case, and either the amendment is different than the one recommended by the staff or the fifteen (15) days have lapsed, the amendment request shall be directed to the Planning Board prior to or on the date on which it first hears the application, or within ten (10) days after the date the Planning Board recommends the amendment. The amendment shall not be permitted if more than ten (10) days have elapsed since the date of the Planning Board's recommendation.

(4)

Notification of any amendments shall be furnished to any person who has requested (in writing) a copy of the Technical Staff Report.
