Any person holding a project approval granted under this chapter may request a modification or amendment to the project if it is found that such modification is necessary to protect the public peace, health, and safety. The modification of a project may apply to the terms of project approval, project design, or the waiver or alteration of conditions imposed when the project was approved.

The original approving authority for the subject project shall hold the hearing. The hearing shall be noticed in the same manner required for the granting of the original approval.

D. Findings. A project modification may be granted only when the approving authority makes all findings required for the original approval in addition to the finding that changed circumstances sufficiently justify modification of the approval.

E. Appeals. An action on a modification may be appealed in accordance with the provisions of CMC 20.84.160. (Ord. 690 § 4 (Exh. A), 2018).
