[Code 1999 §410.140; Ord. No. 479 Art. V, 11-9-1995]
A. General Standards. The Commission may grant a variation
from these regulations when its strict application would result in
extreme practical difficulty and undue hardship by reason of the unusual
shape of a specific parcel or property or exceptional topographic
conditions. In granting any variance or modification, the Commission
may prescribe such conditions as will secure the objectives of these
regulations. No variance shall be granted unless the Commission finds
that no detriment will be caused to the public welfare and no injury
will be caused to other property in the area in which the property
for which the variance is requested is situated, and that the variance
will not substantially impair the intent and purpose of these regulations.
B. Planned Residential Development. The Commission may approve
a comprehensive planned residential development, including residential
neighborhood units, clusters, and condominium types, if it finds that
the variations from these regulations will not adversely affect the
health, welfare, safety and convenience of the individuals occupying
said development. Such development plan must meet the requirements
of the zoning regulations.
C. Minor Subdivision. The information required on the final
plat and the improvements to be installed for a minor subdivision
shall be designated by the Commission.
