1155.08 BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS; POWERS AND DUTIES.
   In exercising its duties, the Board may, as long as such action is in conformity with the terms of this Zoning Ordinance reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or modify the order, requirements, decision, or determination appealed from and may make such order, requirement, decision, or determination as ought to be made, and to that end shall have the powers of the Zoning Enforcement Officer from whom the appeal is taken. For the purpose of this Zoning Ordinance the Board has the following specific responsibilities:
   (a)   To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is an error in any order, requirement, decision, interpretation, or determination made by the Zoning Enforcement Officer.
   (b)   To authorize such variances from the terms of this Zoning Ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to the special conditions, a literal enforcement of this Zoning Ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit of this Zoning Ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done.
   (c)   To grant conditional use permits as specified in the Schedule of District Regulations and under the conditions specified in Section 1155.22 and such additional safeguards as will uphold the intent of this Zoning Ordinance.
