Where the planning commission and the city council find that extraordinary hardships may result from strict compliance with these regulations, they may vary the regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such variance is based on a finding that unusual topography or other exceptional conditions not caused by the subdivider make such variance necessary, and that the granting thereof will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of these regulations. (Ord. 673-87)
