The Board shall have the power to grant slight variances from the provisions of this article; provided that before authorizing such variances, the Board shall first find cause therefor in fact that strict enforcement of this article is impractical, or creates unnecessary hardship, or is otherwise adjudged unwarranted in each instance. Such variances must be in conformity with the spirit and purpose of this article and must secure the public safety.
The Board shall have the power to waive any part or all of the provisions of this article which may apply to a refinery, natural gasoline plant, or laboratory where such is found to be in an adequately separated installation at which fire protection and emergency facilities especially adapted to the needs are available and where the Board determines that by reason of such isolation and protection, the public safety is assured and no unreasonable hazard will result to persons or property.
Each application for a variance or waiver shall be filed at the office of the Bureau of Fire Prevention and Public Safety and shall be accompanied by such maps, drawings, letters, statements, and other supporting data as may be required to justify the request in question. Except when such an application is in conjunction with an application for a permit required by Section 57.105.7.1.1, it shall be accompanied by payment of a fee established by the most current cost recovery schedule published as provided by Section 57.106.7. An application for two or more variances may be filed upon a single application and only one fee shall be paid, provided that all such variances are located at the same address and are for the same person.
