The Planning Commission may authorize variances from the requirements of this chapter where it can be shown that, owing to special and unusual circumstances related to a specific piece of property, strict application of the ordinance would cause an undue or unnecessary hardship. No variance shall be granted to allow the use of property for a purpose not authorized within the zone in which the proposed use would be located.
