(b) Provide appropriate and reasonable criteria to allow the Director to grant an administrative exception.

The Director may grant an administrative exception for a deviation of less than ten (10) percent from the required development standard, with or without conditions, only after determining that:

(a) No practical alternative exists;

(b) The purpose of the subject zone would not be compromised;

(c) No detrimental impact would result to the project site or neighboring properties; and

(d) The proposed project would otherwise be in compliance with all applicable Zoning Regulation standards and requirements.

Administrative exceptions shall be documented by the Director.
