Whenever the tract to be subdivided is of such unusual size or shape, or is surrounded by such development or unusual conditions, that the strict application of the requirements contained in this chapter would result in real difficulties, substantial hardships or injustices, the Commission may vary or modify such requirements so that the subdivider may develop his or her property in a reasonable manner, but so that, at the same time, the public welfare and interests of the City and the surrounding area are protected and the general intent and spirit of this chapter are preserved.
