The Commission may determine existing landscaping or screening intended to be preserved, or a different landscape design, would provide all or part of the required landscaping and screening. In making such a determination to waive or reduce the landscape and screening requirements of this Chapter, the following may be considered:
(a) Extent that existing natural vegetation provides desired screening.
(b) There is a steep change in topography which would limit the benefits of required landscaping.
(c) The presence of existing wetlands.
(d) Existing and proposed building placement.
(e) The abutting or adjacent land is developed or planned by the Municipality for a use other than residential.
(f) Building heights and views.
(g) The adjacent residential district is over two-hundred (200) feet from the subject site.
(h) Similar conditions to the above exist such that no good purpose would be served by providing the landscaping or screening required.
