[Amended 9-20-2022 by Order No. 22-440-01]
When the Planning Board makes written findings of fact that
there are special circumstances relating to a particular lot proposed
to be developed, it may waive portions of the submission requirements,
unless this chapter specifically prohibits waivers. For a waiver to
be granted, the applicant shall demonstrate that:
A. The performance standards of this chapter have been or will be met;
B. The public health, safety, and welfare are protected; and
C. The waivers do not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose
of the Comprehensive Plan, this chapter, or these requirements.
When the Planning Board makes written findings of fact that,
due to special circumstances of a particular property, the provision
of certain required improvements is not required to provide for the
public health, safety or welfare or is inappropriate because of inadequate
or lacking connecting facilities adjacent to or in proximity of the
proposed development, the Planning Board may waive the requirement
for such improvements, subject to appropriate conditions, provided
that:
A. The waivers do not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose
of the Comprehensive Plan, this chapter, or these regulations; and
B. The performance standards of this chapter have been or will be met
by the proposed development.
Waivers may only be granted in accordance with this subsection.
When granting waivers, the Planning Board shall set conditions, as
appropriate, so that the purposes of these regulations are met.
When the Planning Board grants a waiver to any of the improvements
required by these regulations, the final plan, provided to the Planning
Department, shall indicate the waivers granted and the date on which
they were granted.
