ARTICLE 8: VARIANCES

SECTION 801 AUTHORIZATION TO GRANT OR DENY VARIANCES

The Planning Commission may authorize a Variance from certain provisions of this Ordinance enumerated in Section 802 below. To support such a request, it must be shown that owing to special and unusual circumstances related to a specific lot, strict application of the Ordinance would result in practical difficulties which are unwarranted for the purpose and intent of this Ordinance. In granting a Variance, the Planning Commission may attach conditions which it finds necessary to protect the best interests of the vicinity and surrounding property and which otherwise achieve the purpose of this Ordinance.
