In order to grant such authorizations, the Commission shall find that:

(e)    the #development#, #enlargement# or #site alteration# takes advantage of the natural characteristics of the site.

The #lot coverage# regulations of Section 105-33 (Residential Lot Coverage Regulations on Sites Granted an Authorization
Pursuant to Section 105-422) shall apply to any #residential# #development#, #enlargement# or #site alteration# granted an
authorization pursuant to this Section.

Any #development#, #enlargement# or #site alteration# requiring an authorization pursuant to this Section shall be subject to all
the requirements of this Chapter for which an authorization or special permit has not been obtained.
