The plans for Substantial Compliance Determination will be reviewed by the Department of
Planning and Zoning in compliance with Zoning Code and Resolution provisions and conditions
and with §33-310.1(A)(I) Substantial Compliance Standards as adopted by Ordinance #0393. Please note the following standards which will be used to determine approval or denial of
the Substantial Compliance Determination Application.
§33-310.1(A)(I) Substantial Compliance With Previous Approval. The director shall approve an
application to modify or eliminate a condition or part thereof, or a restrictive covenant or part
thereof, where it is demonstrated that the proposed modification or elimination will result in
substantial compliance with the previous zoning action regarding a site plan, as demonstrated
by all of the following:
A. Development density and Intensity have not materially changed, in that:
1. The number of buildings shall is not increased by more than 10%;
2. The number of stories is the same or fewer.
3. The height of the building(s) is the same or less;
4. The number of units is the same or fewer;
5. The lot coverage and floor area ratio are the same or less;
6. The number of bedrooms and corresponding parking spaces may be increased or
decrease by as much as 10%, based on the entire plan, provided the plan complies
with all other requirements of this subsection and of this chapter; and

7. Density of intensity (floor area ratio) may be transferred from one building to another
or from stage of development to another, provided that the total floor area ratio is not
changed.
B. Design has not materially changed, in that:
1. The roadway patterns, particularly ingress-egress points, are in the same general
location as shown on the original plans, and are no closer to the rear or interior side
property lines than shown on the original plans;
2. The parking area is in the same general location and configuration;
3. The building setbacks are the same or greater distance from perimeter property
lines, except that the building setbacks for detached single family development; zero
lot line, row house, townhouse and cluster development may also be decreased,
provided that such decrease is limited such that the resulting setback distance will be
the greater of either
(a) The underlying zoning district regulations, or
(b) Any condition or restrictive covenant regulating the setback for which a
substantial compliance determination is sought;
4. The landscaped open space is in the same general location, is of the same or
greater amount, and is configured in a manner that does not diminish a previously
intended buffering effect;
5. The proposed perimeter walls and/or fences are in the same general location and of
a comparable type and design as previously approved;
6. Elevations and renderings of buildings have substantially similar architectural
expressions as those shown on the approved plans;.
7. Recreational facilities, if shown on plans approved by a prior zoning action, either
remain the same or are converted from one recreational use to another;
8. If recreational facilities were not shown in the approved plans, they may be added,
provided there no increase in lot coverage or decrease in required open space and
such facilities are located internally within the proposed development.
9. If a variance for signage has been granted, the proposed sign(s) is no greater in size
and is placed in the same general location on the site as approved by zoning action.
An entrance sign location may be moved the same proportional distance as a
relocated entrance drive;
10. The proposed changes do not have the effect of creating any noncompliance or
nonconformity with the strict application of the zoning code that were not previously
approved at public hearing, or of expanding the scope of existing variances,
alternative site development options, or other approvals pursuant to alternative
development standards such that they would differ to a greater degree from the strict
application of the zoning code;
11. Additional out-parcels may be added where:
(a) There is no increase in the project’s total floor area ratio or lot coverage;
American LegalNet, Inc.
www.FormsWorkFlow.com
(b) There is no reduction in the total amount of landscaped open space; and
(c) Addition of the out-parcel does not result in noncompliance with any other
provision of this subsection on any other portion of the subject property.
12. Reductions in the number of parking spaces on the site are permitted if sufficient
parking spaces are provided to satisfy the requirements of this code.
C. The slope of any lake for which a modification is requested complies with §33-16 and
all other applicable provisions of this code.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The proposed changes to the plans may only provide uses that are permitted with the zone or
must be in compliance and within the scope of the uses and request(s) specified in the Zoning
Hearing and the conditions imposed as listed in the Resolution.
If the application involves a restrictive covenant, the application shall demonstrate that any
procedural or other consent or approval requirements to modify or eliminate the restrictive
covenant have been satisfied.

stamped “The following Plans consisting of ( ) pages are in Substantial Compliance with
Resolution No. ( )”. A letter signed by the Assistant Director for Zoning will be mailed to the
applicant along with a stamped copy of the plans showing approval or denial. A second set of
plans, application and letter will be filed in the official records of the Zoning Hearings Section.
