In the case of group housing projects to be constructed on a plot of ground of at least two acres not subdivided and where the existing or contemplated street and lot layout make it impractical to apply the requirements of this chapter to the individual building units in the housing projects, the application of the terms of this chapter may be adjusted by the Board of Adjustment in a manner that will be in harmony with the character of the neighborhood, and will ensure substantially the same character of occupancy and intensity of land use no higher and a standard of open space no lower than that permitted by this chapter in the zone in which the proposed project is to be located. However, in no case shall the Board of Adjustment authorize a use not permitted in the zone in which the project is to be located, or a smaller lot area per family than the minimum required in the zone, or a greater height, or a larger coverage than the maximum permitted under this chapter in the zones. The Board of Adjustment shall not act in such a case unless and until a recommendation has been requested and received from the Planning and Zoning Commission.
