Where the Planning Board finds that extraordinary and unnecessary hardships may result from strict compliance with these regulations, it may vary the regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such variations will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the Zoning Code,[1] the Official Map and the Master Plan, if such exists. In granting variances and modifications, the Planning Board shall require such conditions as will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the standards and requirements so varied and modified.

Where the Planning Board finds that strict compliance with these regulations may conflict with the objectives and purposes of the Zoning Code[1] with reference to the preservation of both natural and historic features (land or structures) which in the judgment of the Planning Board are important to the common welfare of the Village, it may vary the regulations so that historical preservation or an important natural feature shall not be threatened, and the public interest therein shall be secured, provided that such variations will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the Zoning Code,[2] the Official Map and the Master Plan, if such exists.
