19.28 — EXCEPTIONS

It is realized that there are certain parcels of land of such dimension, subject to such title restrictions, so affected by physical conditions and/or devoted to such use that it is impracticable for the subdivider to conform to all the fore-going requirements when subdividing property. (Ord. 861 § 8.01, 1981)

The city council, (or, in minor subdivisions, the planning commission) may grant exceptions from the foregoing requirements, when all the following conditions are found to apply:

• A. Any exception granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the same vicinity.

• B. Because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict literal application of this title is found to deprive subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity.

• C. Under the circumstances of this particular case the exception, rather than the sections at issue in this title, actually carries out the spirit and intent of this title.

• (Ord. 861 § 8.02, 1981)

Adequate guarantee shall be provided to insure that any conditions imposed as a part of any approved exception shall be carried out as specified. (Ord. 861 § 8.03, 1981)
