Upon receiving the report from the Planning Commission, the City Council may grant a variance in any particular case where the subdivider can reasonably show that strict compliance to these regulations will and/or could cause unnecessary hardship. A variance may be granted if it is in reasonable harmony with, and does not offend, the intent and purpose of this chapter, if it reasonably conforms to the city’s Comprehensive Plan, if issuance of the variance will not unreasonably alter the essential character of the neighborhood, and if granting of the variance will not be contrary, or substantially detrimental, to the public good, welfare, or interest.
