B. Subdivider. At the time of filinq, a tentative
subdivision map for approval, the owner of the prop-
erty shall, as a part of such filing indicate whether
he desires to dedicate property for park and recre-
ational purposes, or whether he desires to pay a fee
in lieu thereof. If he desires ~o dedicate land for
this purpose, he shall designate the area thereof on

17.
C. Action of City. At the time.of the tentative

EXCEPTIONS
7.01 Exceptions Based on Hardship.

-s~blhe--for the subdivider to conform to all the foregoing requirements
when subdividing property°
7.02
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission (or on appeal, the City Council)
may grant exceptions from the foregoing requirements, when all the
following conditions are found to apply:
a. That any exception granted shall be subject to such
conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall
not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the lim-
itations upon other properties in the same vicinity.
b. That because of special circumstances applicable to
the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location or
surroundings, the strict literal application of this ordinance is
found to deprive subject property of privileges enjoyed by other prop-
erties in the vicinity.

the exception, rather than the sections at issue in tkis Ordinance,
actually carries out the spirit and intent of this Ordinance.
