The City Council shall be empowered to vary the provisions of this chapter if it appears that the provisions would work in manifest injustice, considering such factors as the sign, location and other pertinent factors. Such decision of the Council should not however conflict with the spirit of this chapter, which is one of safety, provision of adequate light, open space and air, conservation of land and building values and to encourage the most appropriate use of land. All variances to these sign regulations will require a special use permit and passed by a two-thirds vote of the entire City Council.
