    When it is proposed to develop a mass-housing project or similar neighborhood unit, the city council may vary the specific requirements of this chapter if the building development is planned with adequate provisions for light and air, vehicular and pedestrian circulation and recreational facilities, equal to or better than the detailed requirements of this chapter, after receiving the recommendation of the planning and zoning commission.
