(1) An "undue hardship" shall be found only in circumstances:
        (A) where a retail establishment requires additional time in order to draw down an
        existing inventory of single-use plastic check out bags. Any retail establishment
        receiving an exemption under this section shall file monthly reports with the city
        manager quantifying and documenting inventory reduction and remaining stocks.
        (B) which are unique to the particular retail establishment such that there are no
        reasonable alternatives to bags that are not recyclable paper bags, compostable plastic
        bags or reusable bags; or
        (C) which are unique to the retail establishment such that compliance with the
        requirements of this ordinance would deprive a person of a legally protected right.
