(A) In the case of special circumstances or conditions where the strict application of the requirements of this chapter would deprive the property owner of a reasonable desire to have signage, the Building or Zoning Commissioner shall have the power to vary or adapt the requirements of this chapter. In granting a variance, the Commissioner may prescribe the appropriate conditions and safeguards to ensure conformity with the surrounding neighborhood.
(B) Variances shall be granted only when there is a pressing need and shall be limited in their scope to the minimum variance necessary to accomplish the purpose of the variance. The fact that another person or entity has received a variance shall not be a valid reason for the issuance of a new variance, and shall not be considered by the Building or Zoning Commissioner.
(C) Appeals from the grant or denial of a variance shall be in accordance with the procedures enumerated in § 150.14 of the Cheviot Code of Ordinances.
