§ 4-26-1800. HARDSHIP.

The Planning Commission shall develop guidelines for determining what factual circumstances shall constitute a hardship for purposes of this Chapter.

The Planning Commission or City Council may, at their discretion, approve a project proposal involving a designated historic resource that does not otherwise qualify for a certificate of approval. The Planning Commission or Council must find that failure to issue a certificate of approval will result in immediate and substantial hardship.

The decision-making body that would normally review and act upon a certificate of approval request for a designated historic resource shall also review and act upon all requests for a hardship exception for that resource.
