Review

- A technical amendment shall affect only a portion of the lot of record;
- Technical amendments are not applicable to recorded plats;
- No additional lots nor streets are created;
- The lots resulting from the technical amendment are not reduced below the minimum sizes required by these regulations and the zoning code of the city;
- There is no change in the orientation of any lot adjacent to streets;
- No streets are vacated; and
- There will be no impact resulting from the proposed change which, in the opinion of the Land Use Administrator, would require a public hearing before the Planning Commission.
