The following regulations shall govern the granting of variances:
(a) Where the Planning Commission finds that extraordinary and unnecessary hardship may result from strict compliance with the official Subdivision Regulations for the City due to exceptional topographic or other physical conditions, it may vary the regulations so as to relieve the hardship, provided that relief may be granted without detriment to the public interest and without impairing the intent and purpose of the Subdivision Regulations or the desirable development of the neighborhood and community. Any variance granted by the Planning Commission shall not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the Official Subdivision Regulations for the City, the Comprehensive Plan, or the official Zoning Code for the City.
(b) When granting variances or modifications, the Planning Commission may require any conditions as will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objective of the standards or requirements so varied or modified.
