No, A-2.3 of the Land Development GuidanceSystem(the "LD1S"),because-of the significant on-
site disturbance of the topography and vegetation that will be caused by the Project.

variance must be granted to such criterion if the Project is to be approved by the City.

said criterion would not be detrimental to the public good, nor would it impair the intent and

project from the requirements of the criterium no. A-2.3 of the LDGS.
