(A) Application. If an applicant for a covered project experiences unique circumstances that the applicant believes make it infeasible to comply with the division requirement, the applicant may apply in writing for a diversion requirement exemption during the building permit process.
(B) Meeting with Community Development Director. The Community Development Director or designee shall review the exemption request information supplied by the applicant and may meet with the applicant to discuss possible ways of meeting the diversion requirement. The Community Development Director or designee may request that staff from the TCRBLMA or TCSLA attend this meeting or may require the applicant to request a separate meeting with these agencies. Based on the information supplied by the applicant and, if applicable, the TCRBLMA or TCSLA, the Community Development Director or designee (authorized officer, official or agent of the city) shall determine whether it is possible for the applicant to meet the diversion requirements of the project.
(C) Granting of exemption. If the Community Development Director or designee (authorized officer, official or agent of the city) determines that it is infeasible for the applicant to meet the diversion requirements due to unique circumstances, he or she shall determine alternate permit conditions, and will inform the applicant, in writing, of the new requirement.
