Modification of Standards (Major) : The Board of Commissioners, in reviewing a development application, may adjust (either reduce or increase) minimum SH-O yards and setback requirements for yards adjacent to the major access corridor or intersecting streets upon making a finding that the proposed adjustment of those requirements: 1. Is consistent with the overall purpose and intent of these requirements; 2. Is necessitated by the configuration and/or topography of the land, which makes it impractical to comply with the yard and setback requirements of this section; 3. Is no greater than is necessary to allow for reasonable development of the tract; 4. Will not adversely affect the value of adjoining or abutting property, or that the use is a public necessity; and
