An approved land use shall be developed or established only as shown on the project plans approved as part of the permit application, except where otherwise provided by this section. Deviation of project design or construction from the approved plans, and changes to the project after completion of construction may occur only as follows:
(1) Except as provided by subsection (2) of this section, a feature of the use or project subject to the standards of Chapters 23.04, 23.05, 23.07 or 23.08, may be modified provided that the change requested is in conformity with the standards of this title. Such change is to be requested in writing with appropriate supporting materials and explanation of the reasons for the request. The planning director may approve a requested change upon verification of its conformity with this title; provided that, such approval shall not modify the effective date of the land use permit.
(2) Where the environment coordinator determines that the change results in an increased impact to an aspect of the project that was specifically addressed in a negative declaration or environmental impact report of the project, or the change relates to a project feature that was specifically addressed in conditions of approval of a minor use permit or development plan, or that was a specific consideration by the review authority in the approval of a minor use permit or development plan, a new minor use permit or development plan approval shall be obtained.
