2/2/2011

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 119-213.

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

(a)   the #development#, #enlargement# or #site alteration# is not feasible without such modifications, or that the requested
       modifications will permit a #development#, #enlargement# or #site alteration# that satisfies the purposes of this
       Chapter;

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

(c)   the requested modification has minimal impact on the existing natural topography and vegetation and blends
       harmoniously with it;

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

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

(f)   the benefits to the surrounding area from the proposed modification outweigh any disadvantages that may be incurred
       thereby in the area.
