(a) Whenever the tract to be subdivided is of such unusual size or shape, or is surrounded by such development or unusual conditions that the strict application of the requirement of these regulations would result in real difficulties, substantial hardship, or injustice, such requirements may be varied or modified so that the subdivider may subdivide his property in a reasonable manner; but at the same time, the public welfare and interest of the Municipality and the surrounding area are thoroughly protected and the general intent and spirit of these Regulations are enforced.
(b) The requirements of these regulations may also be modified and varied whenever a plat is for a complete community or neighborhood, but any such variance must insure that adequate public spaces, circulation, recreation, light and air will be provided and the needs of the entire community, when fully developed and occupied, will be fully met.
(c) Waivers and/or exceptions to the requirements of these regulations may be authorized by Council subsequent to receipt of a recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission. The Commission may recommend and Council may attach such conditions or stipulations to the granting of any waiver or exception as may be deemed appropriate to protect the public interest and to insure compliance with the intent and spirit of these regulations.
