10.50.060 Variations

In considering the application for both mobile home parks and mobile home subdivisions, the City Council, among other things, shall make sure that such development will constitute a residential environment of sustained desirability and stability and that it will not adversely affect amenities in the surrounding area. The Planning Commission may require changes to be made in the plan and development standards in excess of the minimum standards contained in this chapter, such as walls, buffers, street signing and street lighting. Greater amounts of landscaping or parking space may be imposed as conditions of the approval where determined by the City Council to be necessary to ensure that the development will mix harmoniously with joining or nearby uses. Likewise, where unusual topographic or other exceptional conditions exist, the board of adjustment may vary the requirements of this chapter; provided, that such variations will not substantially impair the intent of this title.
