which the development is proposed and the purpose of the particular standard. In
evaluating the context as it is used in the criteria, the reviewing board may consider
the relationship of the proposed development with adjacent structures, the immediate
neighborhood setting, or a broader vicinity as the board deems is necessary to
determine if the exception is warranted; or
b) Be clearly necessary for reasons of fairness related to unusual site-specific constraints;
and

of the application based on the standards, found that the review standards for Residential Design
