An exception to the maximum floor area requirement may be granted to prevent or minimize inconsistencies with the floor area of adjacent or neighboring properties, to assist with the provision of adequate off-street parking, or if the lot is one acre or greater in size; provided that, the granting of such an exception would not be a grant of special privilege or be inconsistent with the intent of the General Plan or the Zoning Ordinance. Granting of an exception requires the review and approval of the Planning Commission. An exception that meets all of the above conditions may be granted by the Planning Commission, provided the total floor area shall not exceed 5,000 square feet per property.
