No drilling shall be permitted for oil and/or gas wells within 200 feet of residential and mercantile buildings, or any school, church, hospital, theater or assembly hall as the same are defined by the statutes of the State. In the case of a particular installation where compliance with the distance requirements may be a handicap to the use of the property and where no undue hazard will be created, the 200 foot distance may be reduced at the discretion of Council after due consideration of such special features as topographical conditions, nature of occupancy and proximity of buildings on the adjoining property, proximity of storage tanks, degree of fire protection provided and the facilities available at the fire department to cope with controlling liquid fires. The features provided herein are not to be construed as a limitation on matters which Council may consider. Council has the right to consider any and all other special features it may consider important in determining whether or not an undue hazard is created.
