Where because of the size of the tract to be subdivided, its topography, the condition or nature of adjoining areas or the existence of other unusual physical conditions, strict compliance with the provisions of this title would cause an unusual and unnecessary hardship on the subdivider, the planning and zoning commission may allow specific variances or exceptions to this title. The planning and zoning commission may require such additional conditions which will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements so varied or modified. The governing body may, upon receipt of written recommendations from the planning and zoning commission, require such other conditions as will further secure, insofar as practicable, the objectives of the standards or requirements varied or modified. Any special use authorized shall be entered in the minutes of the planning and zoning commission and the governing body, together with the circumstances that justified the special use. The planning and zoning commission will prepare a conditional use permit which specifies the certain specific variations and/or exceptions to this title for specific parcels of land. Said document shall be approved by the governing body and signed by the mayor, becoming part of the official minutes of the city. (Ord., 2-29-1996)
