19.26.010   Purpose.
   The provisions of this chapter allow for adjustment from the development standards of these Regulations only when, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including location, shape, size, surroundings, or topography, the strict application of these Regulations denies the property owner privileges enjoyed by other property owners in the vicinity and under identical zoning districts. Any variance granted shall be subject to conditions that will ensure that the variance does not constitute a granting of special privilege(s) inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is situated. The power to grant variances does not extend to land use regulations; flexibility in land use regulations is provided in Chapter 19.24 (Use Permits).
