No land shall be so classified as to reduce the minimum ground floor area requirements thereof below that provided by the next lower classification to that designated for any separately owned land contiguous to or directly adjacent across street. In the event the differential between such classification is so great as to render impractical such a limitation, then the Planning Commission may designate a classification or classifications for the proposed subdivision which will, in its judgment, be in harmony with the surrounding area.
