SECTION 4.21. LOT REDUCTION Developers converting developable land area into the required recreational area may, at their option, reduce building lot size to 95 percent of the rni~iraum lot size of the host zoning SECTION 4.22 FLEXIBILITY IN ADMINISTRATION AUTHORIZED Due to the widely varying characberistics of land itself, the nature of proposed facilities, or other factors, it is possible that the overall objectives of these regulations, on rare occasion, be achieved without adhering to the standards set forth with exact mathematical precision. Accordingly, minor deviations from these standards may be made when it can be det~ udned that: i) the objectives of the standards can be met without strict adherence to them, or, ii) the peculiarities of a tract of land would make strict adherence to standards unreasonable. SECTION 4.23 ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING A DEVIATION FROM STANDARDS A deviation from strict standards is to be presented within the regular subdivision review process, becoming both a part of the writlen record and also, receiving approval from the subdivision approving body, the Cabarrus County Planning & Zoning Commission. Again, a deviation will be considered the exception rather than the rule and accordingly, be authorized only when the evidence is overwhelmingly in its favor. Note: To properly implement the preceding, the following text amendment would n~'~cl to be made to Section 12-3, Zoning Compliance Pet-udt, within the current Cabarrus County Zoning Ordinance: Failure to meet the requirements of Cabarrus County Subdivision Regulations, specifically, Section 4.20, Timing of Recreational Improvements, may result in the cessation of the issuance of zoning compliance permits for the remainder of a subdivision. Issuance of zoning compliance permits may begin after the requirements of the section are met as deter~ained by the Zoning Administrator. 33
