A. Purpose
An administrative adjustment is intended to allow minor variations, or adjustments, to certain dimensional or numerical standards of this Code based on specific criteria, with the intent of providing relief where application of a standard creates practical difficulties in allowing development that otherwise advances the purposes served by the standards of this Code and the comprehensive plan, and is compatible with surrounding development. An
Administrative Adjustment
is also intended to provide limited flexibility, in specific areas, to allow alternative design that is equal to or better than that afforded by strict application of certain dimensional or numerical standards. The purpose of this section is to establish procedures and standards for review of applications for
Administrative Adjustments
.
