Where this land use code provides that a development standard applicable within the Downtown Plan Area as shown on Map 9.2161(6) Downtown Plan Map may be adjusted, approval of the request shall be given if the applicant demonstrates consistency with all of the following: (a) The requested adjustment will allow the project to achieve an equivalent or higher quality design than would result from strict adherence to the standards through: 1.
