(A) The Commission may authorize in specific cases such variance from the terms of this subchapter as will not be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to unique physical conditions such as narrowness, shallowness, steepness of slope, or other conditions applying to a lot or building, the strict application of the zoning regulations will deprive the property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under the same zoning classification.
(B) A VARIANCE is a modification of the requirements of the subchapter as to lot size, lot coverage, width, depth, front yard, side yard, rear yard setbacks, parking spaces, height of buildings, or other provisions affecting the size or shape of a structure or the placement of the structure upon lots, or the size of lots and signs.
(C) No permitted or non-conforming use of neighboring lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for issuance of a variance.
(D) The issuance of a variance permit shall not be considered a precedent for the issuance of other variance permits.
(E) Variances shall not be granted on the grounds of convenience and shall not be considered a right or special privilege.
(F) A variance permit is not transferable from one parcel of land to another.
