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 PID, the number of dwelling units or density, decrease
the amount of parking or loading facilities, permit buildings to locate closer to
the closest boundary line, decrease the amount of open space, or environmentally sensitive
areas, decrease the recreation facilities, change any points of ingress or egress
