“Variance, dimensional” means departure from the terms of the zoning regulations pertaining to height or width of structures and size of yard and open spaces where such departure will not be contrary to the public interest and where, owing to conditions peculiar to the property because of its size, shape or topography, and not as a result of the action of the applicant, the literal enforcement of the zoning regulations would result in unnecessary and undue hardship.
