Upon the findings of the Commission that, due to special conditions peculiar to a subdivision or a site, certain requirements of these regulations are inappropriate, or that strict compliance with said requirements may cause extraordinary and unnecessary hardships, the Commission may vary or waive said requirements, provided that such variance or waiver will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or general welfare or have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the Official Map, the Zoning Ordinance,[1] the Comprehensive Plan or these regulations. In varying or waiving certain requirements, the Commission may specify such conditions as will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the requirements so varied or waived.
