1. Hardship. Where the Commission finds that extraordinary hardships may result from strict compliance with these subdivision regulations, it may vary the regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured; provided, such variation will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of these subdivision regulations.
2. Large Scale Development. The standards and requirements of these subdivision regulations may be modified by the Commission in the case of a planned program for a self-contained, complete community or a neighborhood unit that would, in the judgment of the Commission, provide adequate public spaces and improvements for the circulation, recreation, light, air, and service needs of the tract when fully developed and populated, and which would also provide such covenants or other legal provisions as will assure conformity to and achievement of the plan.
3. Conditions. In granting variances and modifications, the Commission shall weigh the benefits or hardships against the general standards and objectives of these subdivision regulations, and may require such conditions that will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements so varied or modified.
