(a) Council reserves the right to waive the requirements of this Chapter upon a finding and determination that it is in the best interests of the City; for example, when the City has declared an emergency due to natural disasters and needs immediate services.
(b) Waivers from the Chapter are disfavored, and will be granted only where the balance of the competing interests weighs clearly in favor of granting the waiver. If waivers are to be granted, partial waivers are favored over blanket waivers. Moreover, any waiver shall not be granted for no more than one year.
