(A) These standards are adopted only as minimum requirements, and all applicants should consider developing at higher standards. The city may require standards above the minimum standards contained herein whenever it finds that public health, safety or welfare justify such higher standards.
(B) The city may also reduce or otherwise vary the requirements of these standards. Such variances may be granted if the city finds such to be true without detriment to the public good; without impairing the purposes and basic objectives of these standards; and with impairing the desirable general development of the neighborhood and the community as proposed by the Comprehensive Plan. In granting such variances, the city may attach and require whatever conditions it finds are necessary or reasonable to secure the basic objectives of these standards. Any variance granted by the city shall be noted on the required permit along with the findings which justify the granting of the variance.
