(a) The Board of Zoning Appeals may authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variance from the terms of this Ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this Ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship. No nonconforming use of neighboring lands, structures, or buildings in the same district and no permitted or nonconforming use of lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for issuance of a variance. Variances shall not be granted on the grounds of convenience or profit. Variances shall only be granted when a hardship to the land exists.
(b) No variance shall be issued by the Board of Zoning Appeals that will place the applicant or any other resident or the property of the applicant or any other resident, in an unsafe or an unhealthy condition. (Ord. 2007-06. Passed 3-19-07.)
