This section sets forth required procedures for review and approval of variances from the standards of this Zoning Code. Variances are intended to address unnecessary hardships or practical difficulties resulting from strict application of zoning standards. The variance procedures of this section may not be used to permit a use in a zoning district that is not otherwise allowed in that district, nor may the variance procedures be used to waive, vary or otherwise circumvent a condition of approval or requirement imposed by another decision-making body.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04.)
Mailed notice of the Board of Zoning Appeals hearing must be provided in accordance with Section 1111.0300.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04.)
A. The Board of Zoning Appeals must hold at least one public hearing on the proposed variance.
B. Following the hearing, at the same or subsequent meeting, the Board of Zoning Appeals must take action to approve, approve with conditions, or deny the proposed variance.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04.)
Zoning variances shall only be approved when the Board of Zoning Appeals finds substantial evidence in the official record to support at least five of the following findings:
A. Unnecessary hardships or practical difficulties apply to the subject land, buildings or uses which are not generally applicable to other land, buildings, structures, or uses in the same zoning district;
B. The undue hardship or practical difficulties are not the result of the actions of the property owner or applicant, their agent, employee, or contractor;
C. Granting the requested variance will not result in advantages or special privileges to the applicant or property owner that the Zoning Code denies to other land, structures, or uses in the same district, and that the variance is the minimum variance necessary to provide relief;
D. The variance, if allowed, will not substantially interfere with or injure the rights of others whose property would be affected by allowance of the variance;
E. The variance is not inconsistent with the stated purpose and intent of this Zoning Code (See Section 1101.0400);
F. Granting this request will not change or alter the overall image and character of the neighborhood, or introduce new materials or colors that are incompatible with the neighborhood; and
G. The variance is not an after-the-fact approval of an intentional violation.
(Ord. 170-04. Passed 3-23-04; Ord. 437-24. Passed 9-11-24.)
