The Board, after a hearing, may grant a variation from the regulations of the City's Planning and Zoning Code, but only when such variation is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the Planning and Zoning Code, and the Board finds all of the following:
(a) That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to the other property or use in the same vicinity or district;
(b) That such variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right possessed by other property in the same vicinity or district but which is denied to the property in question;
(c) That granting such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property of improvements in the vicinity or district in which the property is located;
(d) That granting such variance will not alter the land use characteristics of the vicinity or district, diminish the value of adjacent land and improvements, or increase the congestion in the public streets. (Ord. 69-01. Passed 7-2-01.)
