(1) New, different, or additional requirements for release are necessary;

(2) The conditions of release that have been set are excessive;

(3) The defendant has failed to comply with or has violated the conditions of release; or

(4) The defendant has been convicted of the ordinance violation charged and sentenced to confinement.
