The final approval shall be binding upon the development. Design variations from the

except for minor changes, as follows: The DCED is authorized to allow minor adjustments
in the development schedule, location, placement, height or dimension of buildings
and structures, not to exceed an alteration of ten percent in height or ten feet in
any other direction, when such minor changes and alterations are required by engineering
and other circumstances not foreseen or reasonably foreseeable at the time of approval
of the final development plans; except that such adjustments shall not increase the
total amount of floor space authorized in the approved final PRD, or the number of
dwelling units or density, or decrease the amount of parking or loading facilities,
or permit buildings to locate closer to the closest boundary line, or decrease the
amount of open space, or decrease the recreation facilities, or change any points
of ingress or egress to the site, or extend the development schedule for not more
