The standards and procedures required in this Title shall be interpreted and applied literally in the case of all subdivision plats submitted after the date of the adoption of these regulations. In case, however, of hardship caused by size, location or configuration of land, topography or other factors which affect a specific tract or subdivision or portion thereof, the subdivider may request a rule exception from one (1) or more of the requirements contained herein. A rule exception may be requested, on forms provided, at the time of filling the preliminary or final plat. A rule exception may be approved by the Planning Commission provided that in its judgment such action will not violate the public interest, unnecessarily burden the City or annul the intent and purpose of these regulations.

The Board of Zoning Appeals shall have power to grant variances from the requirements of this Title in specific instances in order that unwarranted hardship which constitutes a complete deprivation of use (as distinguished from merely granting a privilege) may be avoided. The intended purpose and spirit of the regulations shall be observed, public welfare and public safety secured and substantial justice done. See Chapter 450, Article II for Board of Zoning Appeals administration.
