(a) 
Except for the required filing of a tract map, the city council may waive all or any portion of the requirements of Title 17, including but not limited to the requirements for improvement, design and payment of fees, if it has found and determined that the strict application of the requirement in question would

Result in undue practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship inconsistent with the purposes of this title, and it is found that a waiver of the required improvement would not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety and general welfare, nor detrimental to property and improvements thereon in the immediate vicinity of the subject property;

A waiver may be granted at any time prior to the approval of a tentative map and may be accompanied by reasonable conditions including a fee in lieu of the requirement waived, which fee must be paid prior to the recording of the final map. The amount of such fees shall be established, from time to time, by resolution.
