The purpose of this chapter is to allow variation from the strict application of the terms of this title where, by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness or unusual shape of a specific piece of property on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this title, or by reason of exceptional topographic conditions or other extraordinary situations or conditions of the piece of property, or of the use or development of the property immediately adjoining the piece of property in question, the literal enforcement of the requirements of this title would involve practical difficulties or would cause undue hardship unnecessary to carry out the spirit and purpose of this title.
