(a) The Planning Commission may vary the requirements of this Chapter in the same manner as set forth for variances to the Subdivision Regulations under Chapter 1109 where the Commission finds the development is large enough to constitute a more or less self- contained neighborhood to be developed in accordance with a comprehensive plan safeguarded by appropriate restrictions which, in the judgement of the Commission, make adequate provision for all essential community requirements provided the same do not impair the intent and purposes of this Chapter and the Zoning Code.
(b) The Planning Commission may also relax the requirements of this Chapter and grant relief through variances and exceptions to the requirements of this Chapter in the same manner as set forth for variances and exceptions to the Subdivision Regulations under Chapter 1109 in particular cases where the developer can show that, by reason of exceptional topographical and other physical conditions, strict compliance with any requirement of the Chapter would cause practical difficulty or exceptional and undue hardship, so as to relieve such difficulty or hardship and provided the Commission finds that such variance or exception can be accomplished without detriment to the public good and without impairing the intent and purposes of this Chapter and the Zoning Code or the desirable general development of the neighborhood and the community.
