(a) A variance is a deviation from the minimum standards of this Zoning Ordinance and shall not involve permitting land uses that are otherwise prohibited in the zoning district nor shall it involve changing the zoning classifications of a parcel of land.
(b) The City of Moundsville Board of Zoning Appeals shall grant a variance to this Zoning Ordinance if it finds that the variance:
(1) Will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or welfare or the rights of adjacent property owners and residents;
(2) Arises from special conditions or attributes which pertain to the property for which a variance is sought and which were not created by the person seeking the variance;
(3) Would eliminate an unnecessary hardship and permit a reasonable use of the land;
(4) Will allow the intent of this Zoning Ordinance to be observed and substantial justice done. (Passed 10-3-17.)
