(A) In the event that the density unit requirements can not be achieved on site, the developer may elect to make an application to the Greenville County Board of Zoning Appeals for a variance. The variance may be granted in an individual case of unnecessary hardship if so determined by the Board of Zoning Appeals. Variance applications shall be processed and governed by the requirements for other variances as set forth in the Greenville County Zoning Ordinance, as amended. In granting any variance, the Board may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards in conformity with this article. Violation of such conditions and safeguards shall be a violation of this article and punishable under § 17-64. The Board of Zoning Appeals shall have authority to waive density requirements of this article through the grant of a variance.
(B) Orders, decisions or determinations made by the County relative to the application and interpretation of this article may be appealed to the Board of Zoning Appeals. All appeals must be made in compliance with the rules and procedures of the Board of Zoning Appeals. Applications for appeal shall be based on a claim that the intent of this article, or the rules legally adopted thereunder, have been incorrectly interpreted; or the provisions of this article do not fully apply.
