1143.01 INTENT.
   Appeals and variances shall conform to the procedures and requirements of this Zoning Code. The BZA has appellate jurisdiction relative to appeals and variances.
(Ord. 00-30. Passed 6-5-2000.)
1143.02 ADMINISTRATIVE APPEALS.
   (a)   Appeals to the BZA concerning interpretation or administration of this Zoning Code may be taken by any person aggrieved or by any officer or bureau of the legislative authority of the Municipality affected by any decision of the Municipal Manager. Such appeal shall be taken within 30 days after the decision by filing, with the Municipal Manager and with the BZA, a Notice of Appeal specifying the grounds upon which the appeal is being taken. The Municipal Manager shall transmit to the BZA all the papers constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
 
   (b)   A record capable of transcription and containing all documents presented as evidence or utilized by the BZA shall be made of any hearing held under this section.
(Ord. 00-30. Passed 6-5-2000.)
1143.03 VARIANCES.
   The BZA may authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variance from the terms of this Zoning Code as will not be contrary to the public interest where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this Zoning Code would result in unnecessary hardship for use variance and practical difficulties for area variances. No nonconforming use of neighboring lands, structures, or buildings in the same district and no permitted or nonconforming use of lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for issuance of a variance. Variances shall not be granted on the grounds of convenience or profit, but only where strict application of the provisions of this Zoning Code would result in unnecessary hardship.
(Ord. 00-30. Passed 6-5-2000.)
