Whenever the land involved in any subdivision is of such size or shape, is subject to title limitations, is affected by topographical conditions, or is devoted to such use that it is impossible, impractical or undesirable to conform fully to these regulations, or whenever the applicable provisions of Section 19.36.220 of this chapter are met, the planning commission may permit modification thereof as may be reasonably necessary to conform to the spirit and purpose of the Subdivision Map Act and this chapter. Any action of the commission relating to modifying the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to the same right of appeal to the city council as any other determination of the commission relating to subdivision maps. No modification granted under the provisions of this chapter shall be construed as a modification of any other city ordinance, particularly the zoning ordinance.
(Prior code § 2-4.34)
Each proposed modification shall be referred to the appropriate officer who shall transmit to the commission his or her written recommendation, which shall be reviewed, prior to the granting of any modification.
(Prior code § 2-4.35)
In the event any modification is made, a written statement of the modification shall be transmitted to the council at the time of approval of the subdivision map.
(Prior code § 2-4.36)
