Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the property that do not generally apply to other properties in the same zone or vicinity, resulting from lot size or shape, topography or other circumstances over which the owners of property since enactment of this Title have had no control; or
B. The variance is necessary for the preservation of a property right of the applicant substantially the same as owners of other property in the same zone or vicinity possess; and
C. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Title, or to property in the same zone or vicinity in which the property is located, or otherwise conflict with the objectives of any County plan or policy; and
D. The variance requested is the minimum variance that would alleviate the hardship. (Ord. 86, 12-7-1993)
