(5)

The Authority may from time to time where it considers necessary or on the request of the person to whom approval was granted under subsection (2), require a Master Plan to be reviewed or evaluated and appropriate modifications or adjustments made thereto, to address any changes that may have taken place since the approval of such Master Plan.
