A. Minor Adjustments. Minor adjustments may be made and approved by the planning director. Minor adjustments are those which may affect the precise dimensions of the plat but which do not affect the basic character or arrangement of the lots and streets. Such dimensional requirements shall not vary more than 10 percent from the original. The adjustments cannot be inconsistent with the requirements of the preliminary plat approval. The adjustments cannot cause the subdivision to be in violation of this title, the zoning ordinance, any other applicable city land use control, Chapter 58.17 RCW, or any other applicable state law or regulation. Minor adjustments shall be reviewed for consistency with this chapter and the regulations of this title, as well as the following criteria:

1. The adjustment maintains the design intent or purpose of the original approval; and

2. The adjustment maintains the quality of design or product established by the original approval; and

3. The adjustment does not cause a significant environmental or land use impact on or beyond the site; and

4. The adjustment is not precluded by the terms of this title or by state law from being decided administratively; and

5. Circumstances render it impractical, unfeasible or detrimental to the public interest to accomplish the subject condition or requirement of preliminary plat or short plat approval.

B. Major Adjustments. Major adjustments are those that, when determined by the planning director, substantially change the basic design, layout, open space or other requirements of the plat. When the planning director determines a change constitutes a major adjustment, a new application for a preliminary plat is required and shall be processed as a new and separate application.
