§ 6.01. Variances and exceptions.  


Latest version.
  • Whenever it would be inadvisable to apply a provision of this Ordinance because a tract is of such unusual size, shape, or character as would render an extraordinary hardship not created or imposed by the owner or developer, the planning commission may modify such provisions only to provide that substantial justice may be done, the public interest secured, and the intent and spirit of these regulations fulfilled; provided that in no event shall the requirements of procedure or improvements be waived. Such modifications thus granted shall be made at the written request of the developer stating the reasons for such modification and shall be waived only by 3/5 vote of the regular membership of the planning commission. Any such modifications thus granted shall be duly entered and recorded in the minutes of the planning commission, with the reasons justifying the modifications set forth therein. In the case of planned unit development, these regulations may be varied in terms with the outline development plan as recommended by the city planning commission and approved by the city council.
