42-186. Alternative Compliance

Site conditions or other reasons may justify the need to request an alternative method of compliance with this Article. The Technical Review Committee may alter the requirements of this Article so long as existing/proposed landscape features of the development comply with the intent of this Article. Requests for alternative compliance shall be accepted where:

  1. Topography, geologic features, drainage channels, streams, existing natural vegetation, overhead utilities, underground utilities, lot limitations (size, space or unusual shape), unique relationships to other properties, or other conditions make it unreasonable to meet landscape requirements; or
  2. An alternative compliance plan is equal or superior to normal compliance in its ability to fulfill the intent of this Article.
