Council or the Planning Commission may authorize a variance
from these Regulations when, in its opinion, undue hardship may result
from strict compliance, provided that the variance does not pertain
to requirements of the Zoning Code. In granting any variance, Council
or the Commission shall prescribe only conditions that it deems necessary
to, or desirable for, the public interest. In making its fundings,
as required herein, Council or the Commission shall take into account
the nature of the proposed use of land and the existing use of land
in the vicinity, the number of persons to reside or work in the proposed
subdivision and the probable effect of the proposed subdivision upon
traffic conditions in the vicinity. No variance shall be granted unless
Council or the Commission finds that:
(a) There are special circumstances or conditions affecting said property
such that the strict application of the provisions of these Regulations
would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his or her land.
(b) The variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a
substantial property right of the petitioner.
(c) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which said
property is situated.
