Where the land to be subdivided is of such unusual size, distance beyond the corporate limits, shape, or is surrounded by such development, or other unusual conditions, that strict application of this chapter would result in substantial financial hardship to the developer, the City Council, after a public hearing and Commission recommendation, may vary the subdivision requirements to minimize such hardship, while maintaining the requirements necessary for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare and preserving the purposes and intent of this chapter. Any variance shall be supported by substantial evidence and specific findings shall be recorded in the minutes of the body making such findings.
