Adjustments are variances are intended to provide relief to code standards in specific situations. Both procedures are intended to ensure that the resulting development is compatible with adjacent properties and is consistent with this chapter’s intent.
(A) Adjustments. Adjustments provide relief from specific code provisions when a code provision has the unintended effect of preventing reasonable development in conformance with all other code requirements. Adjustments are allowed in limited situations pursuant to § 153.312. The permitted use standards of Table 153.022 are not subject to modification through an adjustment.
(B) Variances. Variances provide greater flexibility to code standards than adjustments where the physical characteristics of a site or its surroundings prevent reasonable development in compliance with a code standard. The permitted use standards of Table 153.022 are not subject to modification through a variance.
