The purpose of a variance is to provide relief when a strict application of the zoning requirements of lot width, lot depth, building height, setback, access or other dimensional or site requirements would impose practical difficulties. These difficulties may result from geographic, topographic or other physical conditions on the site or in the immediate vicinity. No variance shall be granted which allows the establishment or expansion of use otherwise prohibited or subject to conditional use procedures.
