The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not vary the regulations of this Ordinance, as authorized in Section 1111.04, unless and until a written application for a variance is submitted to the Zoning Enforcement Officer and the Board of Zoning Appeals containing:
(a) Name, address, and phone number of applicants;
(b) Legal description of property;
(c) Description of nature of variance requested;
(d) Narrative statements which demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board of Zoning Appeals that the variance conforms to the following standards.
(1) Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of the specific property involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of the regulations were to be carried out;
(2) The conditions upon which an application for a variance is based are unique to the property for which the variance is sought, and are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification.
(3) The purpose of the variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase financial gain;
(4) The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Ordinance and has not been created by any persons presently having an interest in the property;
(5) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located; and
(6) The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the damage of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
(7) The Zoning Board of Appeals may impose such conditions and restrictions upon the premises benefited by a variance as may be necessary to comply with the standards established in this section and the objectives of this Ordinance.
