10-10-2: DEFINITION AND INTERPRETATION:
A "variance" is a modification of the requirements of this title such as lot size, lot coverage, width, depth, front yard, side yard, setback, parking space, height of buildings, or other provisions affecting the size or shape of a structure upon lots, or the placement of a structure upon lots, or the size of lots. A variance shall not be considered a right or special privilege, but may be granted to an applicant only upon a showing of undue hardship in a majority of the reasonable uses because of characteristics of the same, and that the variance is not in conflict with the public interest. (Ord. 86, 8-19-1980; amd. 2008 Code)
