(A) Some divisions of land create legal and technical problems which are beyond the control of the landowner. When practical difficulties, unnecessary hardships, or results inconsistent with the general purposes of the zoning regulations or of this chapter occur through a strict interpretation of their provisions, the Planning Commission may exempt such division of land from some or all of the provisions of this chapter. Such divisions of land shall include, but shall not necessarily be limited to, the following:
(1) The conveyance or transfer of land, or any interest therein, to the United States, or any agency thereof, the state, county, a city, school district, special district, or public utility;
(2) The division of a parcel of land to correct or make minor adjustments in a boundary line between existing parcels provided the parcel remaining after such division conforms in area to the zoning regulations; and
(3) The division of a parcel of land for the purpose of increasing the size of parcels adjoining such parcel provided the parcel remaining after such division conforms in area to the zoning regulations.
(B) The Planning Commission, in the exercise of sound, reasonable judgment, may grant such variations as it determines warranted or required because of the size, use, physical condition, or other conditions of the property or the type of subdivision; provided, however, no variation may be made to any requirement imposed by the Subdivision Map Act of the state.
