A. Should the Planning Commission find that any of the regulations or requirements herein are not applicable to a proposed land subdivision, or to a preliminary of final plat thereof, or would cause unnecessary and unintended hardship, it may recommend to the City Council such variations therefrom as are not contrary to the intent and purpose of these regulations or other applicable law or to any applicable City plan.

B. It shall be the sole discretion of the City Council to permit any such variances. The City Council may waive the requirement of preparation of a preliminary plat if for the purpose of:

(1) Vacation of a previous plat; or

(2) Subdividing less than five lots or parcels of land of adequate size, all adjoining a public street, and where no dedication of land for an additional street or for widening or relocation of the existing street is needed.
