Modifications to the overlay design standards of this chapter, as they will apply to an individual property, shall occur in one of two ways:
(a) If the new development or redevelopment is in a Planned Unit Development, any modification shall be requested by the applicant as a part of the Planned Unit Development process (Chapter 1288).
(b) If the development or redevelopment is not in a Planned Unit Development, any modification relating to the subject property or properties shall be requested by the applicant, in writing, to the Planning Commission for review and approval. The Planning Commission shall review the request for modification with respect to the design guidelines established in this chapter and as per the requirements of § 1254.12, Site Plan Review and only grant such modification if the applicant can show to Planning Commission practical difficulties in the strict application of the requirements of this chapter.
No modification to the design guidelines as they relate to the subject property for which the modification(s) were requested shall be construed to apply to this chapter as a whole nor shall they be construed to apply to other properties.
