§ 126-251. Requirements for developments falling outside existing categories.

With the rapid changes that occur in development ideas and layouts, it is impossible to write regulations to cover every conceivable development. The commission, upon recommendation of the director of planning and development and the city engineer, is empowered to determine the specific requirements for each development that does not logically fall in an existing category. The commission may adjust the requirements for lot size, street construction, individual metering and sidewalks in developments that are proposed which do not fit existing categories. In approving developments under this section, the commission should determine that:

(1)

The proposed use is appropriate and reasonable for the area;

(2)

Approval will not be detrimental to the public health, safety, and welfare;

(3)

The effect of the development will not prevent orderly subdivision of other land in the vicinity; and

(4)

The development will not cause the city to be required to provide city services at a level above that required in other subdivisions.
