LAST AMENDED
2/2/2011


For any #Tier II site#, the City Planning Commission may authorize variations in the height and setback regulations set forth in
Section 119-212 (Height and setback regulations).

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

(a)   the #development# or #enlargement# is not feasible without such modification, or that the requested modification will
       permit a #development# or #enlargement# that satisfies the purpose of this Chapter;

(b)    by concentrating permitted #floor area# in a #building# or #buildings# of greater height covering less land, the
        preservation of existing topography and vegetation and the preservation of #hillsides# having aesthetic value to the
        public will be assured, and that such preservation would not be possible by careful siting of lower #buildings# containing
        the same permitted #floor area# and covering more land;

(c)   such modification is the least modification required to achieve the purpose for which it is granted;

(d)    the requested modification will not disturb the soil conditions of the area;

(e)   the proposed modification does not impair the essential character of the surrounding area; and

(f)   the proposed modification will not have adverse effects upon light, air and privacy of adjacent properties.
