The purpose of this section is to provide standards for variances which exceed the Class A and Class B variance criteria in §§ 154.416 and 154.417. Class C variances may be granted if the applicant shows that, owing to the special and unusual circumstances related to the property, the literal application of the standards of the applicable land use district would create a hardship to development which is peculiar to the lot size and shape, topography, sensitive lands or other similar circumstances related to the property over which the applicant has no control and which are not applicable to other properties in the vicinity; except that, no variances to permitted uses shall be granted.
