(F) Administrative appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals.

(2) Appeals shall be taken within 20 days after the decision by filing with the officer from whom the appeal is taken and with the Board of Zoning Appeals, a notice of appeal, specifying the grounds. The officer from whom the appeal is taken shall transmit to the Board of Zoning Appeals all the papers constituting the record upon which the action was taken.
(3) An appeal shall stay all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the Director of Land Use and Long Range Planning certifies to the Board, after notice of appeal has been filed, that, due to the facts stated in the certificate, a stay would cause imminent peril to life or property. In this case, the proceedings shall not be stayed other than by a restraining order, which may be granted by a court of record.
(4) In deciding the appeal, the Board shall determine whether or not the decision that was made was done so using the proper requirements and standards in this Code.

(5) After a determination that the administrative official or body making the decision did so improperly, the Board may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify, the order, requirement, decision or determination appealed from, and may make an order, requirement, decision or determination as ought to be made, and to that end shall have all the powers of the administrative official or body from whom the appeal was taken.
(G) Special permits.
(1) Nature of special permit. Due to unique characteristics relative to location, design, size, operation, traffic circulation or need for public services, several specific uses have been identified which require supplemental criteria and review to substantiate that the use is appropriate for the proposed location.
(3) Standard of review. In reviewing an application for a special permit, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall consider the following:
(a) Whether the proposed use meets the applicable requirements established by this Code;
(b) Whether the proposed use is compatible with the existing land use and the general development and character of the neighborhood; and
(c) Whether the use can be developed and maintained without substantially impairing the general purpose and intent of the zoning district in which the use is proposed to be located.
(4) Any applicant who is denied a special permit by the Board of Zoning Appeals may appeal the denial to the City Council.
(H) Variances.
(1) Nature of variance. On a particular property extraordinary circumstances may exist, making a strict enforcement of the applicable development requirements of this Code unreasonable, and therefore, the variance procedure is provided to allow the flexibility necessary to adapt to changed or unusual conditions that meet the standards of review for variances. In granting any variance, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to maintain the intent and spirit of the zoning district in conformity with the Zoning Code.
(2) Non-use (area) variances. Upon application, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall only approve a request for a non-use variance only in cases where there is evidence of practical difficulty present on the property in the official record of the hearing and that the findings required in (a) and (b) below have been satisfied with respect to the following standards of review:
(a) That all of the following findings are made:
1. That special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land or structure involved and which are not applicable to other lands or structures in the same zoning district whereby the literal enforcement of the requirements of this chapter would involve practical difficulties. Special conditions or circumstances may include:
A. Exceptional narrowness, shallowness or shape of a specific property on the effective date of this chapter or amendment; or
B. By reason of exceptional topographic or environmental conditions or other extraordinary situation on the land, building or structure; or
C. By reason of the use or development of the property immediately adjoining the property in question.
2. That the variance is not necessitated because of any action or inaction of the applicant.
3. Granting the variance will not cause a substantial adverse effect to property or improvements in the vicinity or will not materially impair the intent and purposes of the requirement being varied or of this chapter.
(b) That at least two of the following findings are made:
1. That a literal interpretation of the provisions of the Zoning Code would not confer on the applicant any special privilege or deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of this chapter.
2. The variance request is not one where the specific conditions pertaining to the property are so general or recurrent in nature as to make the formulation of a general regulation for those conditions reasonably practicable.
3. The variance would not adversely affect the delivery of governmental services ( e.g., water, sewer, garbage).
4. The practical difficulty could be eliminated by some other method, even if the solution is less convenient or most costly to achieve.
(3) Use variances. Final approval of a use variance shall be granted by the City Council, following review of the findings of the Board of Zoning Appeals. Upon application, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall only recommend to the City Council approval of a request for a use variance only in cases where there is evidence of an unnecessary hardship imposed on the property in the official record of the hearing and a finding is made that all of the following standards of review are met:
(a) That there are unnecessary hardships in the way of carrying out the strict letter of these regulations which are caused by exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applying to the property involved, or to the intended use of the property, that do not generally apply to other property or uses in the vicinity in the same zoning district. Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions include:
1. Exceptional narrowness, shallowness or shape of a specific property on the effective date of this chapter;
2. Exceptional topographic conditions;
3. By reason of the use or development of the property immediately adjoining the property in question; or
4. Any other physical situation on the land, building or structure deemed by the Board of Appeals to be extraordinary.
(b) That the proposed use will not alter the essential character of or be detrimental to adjacent property and the surrounding neighborhood.
(c) That the building, structure, or land cannot reasonably be used for a use allowed in the zone district in which it is located.
(d) That the variance is not necessitated because of any action or inaction of the applicant.
(I) Building construction appeals for the Division of Building Standards.
(1) The Board shall hear all appeals not related to the Ohio Building Code or other statewide Code regulated by the Board of Building Standards; namely, one-, two- and three-family residential dwellings within the city limits, or as provided in Section 111.1 in the Property Maintenance Code of the City of Dublin.
(2) If the Director of Building Standards denies a contractor's application for registration, suspends or revokes a contractor's registration certificate, or denies renewal of a registration certificate, the contractor shall have the right to appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals. The contractor shall submit a notice of appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals within five days from the receipt of the order of the Director of Building Standards. The decision of the Board of Zoning Appeals shall be final.
(3) An appeal shall be heard in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(4) An application for appeal shall be based on a claim that the true intent of this Code or the rules legally adopted thereunder have been incorrectly interpreted, the provision of this Code do not fully apply, or an equally good or better form of construction is proposed. The Board shall have no authority to waive requirements of this Code.
(J) Stream Corridor Protection Zone Appeals for the Dublin Engineering Division.
(2) An appeal shall be heard in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(3) Should the decision of the City Engineer be reversed or modified, the Board of Zoning Appeals may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards to maintain the intent and spirit of Chapter 53 of the Dublin Code of Ordinances.
