(A) Where in the case of a particular proposed subdivision it can be shown that strict compliance with the requirements of the ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship to the subdivider because of unusual topography or other conditions, or that these requirements would result in inhibiting the achievement of the objectives of this chapter, the Commission, subject to Council approval as otherwise provided herein, may vary, modify, or waive the requirements so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured; provided that the variance, modification, or waiver will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of this chapter or any utility regulations or other requirements of the city or interfere with carrying out the Comprehensive Plan.
(B) Application and approval of variance requests shall be a part of the preliminary plat approval process. Requests made subsequent to approval of the preliminary plat shall require an amendment to the preliminary plat prior to approval of the final plat.
