(2/2/11)
For any #development#, #enlargement# or #site alteration# on a #Tier II site#, the City Planning Commission may authorize variations in the grading controls set forth in Section 105-34.
In order to grant such authorization, the Commission shall find that:
- the #development#, #enlargement# or #site alteration# is not feasible without such modifications, or that the modifications will permit a #development#, #enlargement# or #site alteration# that satisfies the purposes of this Chapter;
- such modification is the least modification required to achieve the purpose for which it is granted;
- the modification has minimal impact on the existing natural topography and vegetation and blends harmoniously with it;
- the modification will not disturb the drainage pattern and soil conditions of the area;
- the modification does not impair the essential character of the surrounding area; and
- the benefits to the surrounding area from the modification outweigh any disadvantages that may be incurred thereby in the area.
