In the case of a group housing project for two or more buildings to be constructed on a plot of ground of at least five un-subdivided acres, or where the existing or contemplated street and lot layout make it impractical to apply the requirements of this chapter to the individual building units, the application of the terms of this ordinance may be varied by the board of adjustment. Such variance, however, should not adversely effect the character of the neighborhood, should assure substantially the same character of occupancy and intensity of land use as set forth by this chapter. However, in no case shall the board of adjustment authorize a use prohibited in the district in which the project is located, or a smaller lot area per family than the minimum required, or a greater coverage than the requirements of this chapter in such a district.

The regulations of this section addressing "home occupation," as such term is defined in Section 23-2.1 of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance, are designed to protect and maintain the residential character of established neighborhoods while recognizing that certain professional and limited business activities have traditionally been conducted in the home. This section recognizes that, when properly limited and regulated, such ventures can take place in a dwelling without changing the character of either the neighborhood or the residential structures which constitute the said neighborhood.
