§ 15l.22. Variances.

A.

In a specific case when a tract is to be subdivided and it is of unusual size or shape or surrounded by unusual topography, soil or other natural conditions so that the strict application of the requirements in this chapter would result in hardship or injustice, the Commission may vary such requirements, by increasing or otherwise modifying them, so that the property may be developed in an appropriate manner, in keeping with the public welfare and interests of the City and adjacent areas and also the general intent and spirit of this chapter.

B.

Nothing contained in this chapter shall prevent the subdivider from developing any required item to a higher construction standard if such a higher standard meets the approval of the Planning Commission.

C.

The planning for an ultimate development of a large area is to be encouraged and required and it then may be allotted a section at a time, but each section should be of a size that all improvements are installed or bond given for them and not allotted in such large units that improvements cannot be installed or the bond financed.
