It is realized that certain parcels of land exist of such size, subject to such title restrictions, sold and devoted to such usage, that it is impossible for the owner to conform to the following rules, regulations and standards when divided or subdivided. In such cases, the Commission may determine that conditions affecting the property in question warrant and require that exceptions be made; provided, however, that no exceptions may be made to any requirement imposed by the Subdivision Map Act. No exception shall be made unless the Commission makes a finding or findings in writing that such exceptions are necessary stating the reasons and grounds therefor. Such findings shall be attached to the Commission's report to the Council and shall become a part thereof. The action on all exceptions shall be subject to approval by the Council.
