The following standards apply to consideration of use and non-use variance requests:
(A) If when applying the standards of § 154.155 of this chapter to a non-use variance request, the Zoning Board of Appeals finds that the requirements of this chapter, as written, can be met or that there is no practical difficulty preventing a reasonable use of the land, then the non-use variance request shall be denied;
(B) If when applying the standards of § 154.155 of this chapter to a use variance request, the Zoning Board of Appeals finds that no hardship exists and there is a reasonable use of the property as zoned without the grant of a use variance, then the use variance request shall be denied; and
(C) If when applying the standards of § 154.155 above to either a use or non-use variance request, the Zoning Board of Appeals finds that the hardship or practical difficulty is not unique, but common to several properties in the area, the finding must be transmitted by the Board of Appeals to the Planning Commission who shall determine whether to initiate an amendment to this Zoning Code. See § 154.153.
