(a) The provisions of these regulations are the minimum standards for the protection of the public welfare. The Planning Commission may make recommendations to Council to modify or to extend them as may be necessary in the public interest.
(Ord. 12-1982 §7.00. Passed 11-3-82.)
(b) Council may grant a modification of the requirements of one or more provisions if the literal enforcement will exact undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question, provided that such modification will not be contrary to the public interest and that the purpose and intent of the ordinance is observed.
(c) All requests for a modification shall be in writing and shall accompany and be a part of the application for development. The request shall state in full the grounds and facts of unreasonableness or hardship on which the request is based, the provision or provisions of the ordinance involved and the minimum modification necessary.
(d) Request for modifications shall be referred to the Planning Commission for advisory comments. When reviewing requests for modifications, the Commission shall consider whether literal compliance with the requirements of the provisions of this ordinance are unreasonable, cause undue hardship or whether an alternative standard can be demonstrated to provide equal or better results.
(e) Council shall keep a written record of all actions on requests for modifications.
