b. Increase the number of lots, dwelling units, or density.

c. Decrease the quality or amount of open space.

d. Significantly increase the demand for public utilities or services.

e. Result in the issuance of a determination of significance (DS), and/or require the preparation of an addendum or supplemental EIS.

f. Introduce a new use that is prohibited in the zone or that may only be permitted through a conditional use permit.

2. Applications for minor modifications shall be processed in accordance with the provisions of CEMC Section 14.30.040 and may be approved, approved with conditions, or denied; provided, that:

a. A proposed change to a condition of approval does not modify the intent of the original condition; and
