“Variance” means a variation of the requirements of this Zoning Ordinance not contrary to the public interest, granted, by the Board of Zoning Appeals, in specific cases when warranted, in order to alleviate unnecessary and undue hardship which may otherwise ensue owing to exceptional narrowness, shallowness or shape of a lot, to difficult topography or other peculiar physical conditions of a lot, or to the nature of existing uses or structures on adjoining lots, and so that the spirit of this Zoning Ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done. Such variances shall not include authorizing a use not among the permitted uses specified in this Zoning Ordinance for the district in which the lot is located.
