Upon application for a modification of analysis requirements, where the applicant demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Planning Commission that, due to the existing character of the property or the size, nature, or scope of the proposed project or previous development of the property, the full scope of studies called for by SMC 17.46.050(D) is not necessary, the Commission may modify study requirements of this chapter if it finds, on the basis of substantial evidence provided by a qualified professional, that specific resources of potential concern do not occur on the property or will not be affected by the project. Any such decision shall be subject to appeal to the City Council under procedures set forth in Chapter 17.455 SMC. (Ord. 1111, 2018)
