How much authority does a ZA have in amending permits issued by an AMP?
A zoning administrator has no authority to amend permits issued by an AMP, unless the zoning bylaw permits the ZA to make amendments. A bylaw that provides for administrative review must specify thresholds and conditions under which the ZA may amend permits. The primary standard to be followed by the ZA is that no amendment issued as an administrative review can have the effect of substantively altering any of the findings of fact of the most recent approval. 24 V.S.A. 4464(c).
