The Planning Commission may authorize variances from the requirements of this chapter where it can be shown that owing to special and unusual circumstances related to a particular piece of property, the literal interpretation of this chapter would cause undue or unnecessary hardship. No variance shall be granted to allow the use of property for purposes not authorized within the zone in which the proposed use would be located. In granting a variance, the Planning Commission may attach conditions which it finds necessary to protect the best interest of the surrounding property and to otherwise achieve the purposes of this chapter.
