The Zoning Board of Appeals may authorize on appeal, in a specific case, such variations from the terms of this chapter as will be in harmony with its general purpose and intent and in accordance with general or specific rules therein contained in cases where there are practical difficulties or particular hardship in the way of carrying out the strict letter of any of those regulations relating to the use, construction, or alteration of buildings or structures or the use of land. No nonconforming use of neighboring lands, structures, or buildings in the same zoning district and no permitted or nonconforming use of lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for issuance of a variation. Variations shall not be granted on the grounds of convenience or profit, but only where strict application of the provisions of this chapter would result in unnecessary hardship.
