1173.13  PROCEDURES AND REQUIREMENTS FOR VARIANCES.
   To vary the strict application of any of the requirements of this Zoning Ordinance in the case of exceptionally irregular, narrow, shallow or deep lots, or other exceptional physical conditions, whereby such strict application would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship - not economic in nature - that would deprive the owner of reasonable use of the land or building involved but in no other case.  The fact that another use would be more profitable is not a valid basis for legally granting a variance.  No nonconforming use of neighboring lands, structures, or buildings in the same district, and no permitted use of lands, structures or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for the issuance of a variance.  The variance requested shall not alter the essential character of the locality, nor be in conflict with the Comprehensive Master Plan. In making this determination, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall be advised by the recommendation of the Planning Commission.
