The Board of Zoning Appeals shall have the following powers and duties:
(a) Hear and determine appeals from and review any order, requirement, decision or determination made by the Mayor in enforcing the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance.
(b) Permit and authorize exceptions to the district regulations in particular situations where the exceptions are compatible with permitted uses in the districts involved.
(c) Hear and decide special exceptions to the terms of the Ordinance upon which the Board is required to act under the Ordinance.
(d) Authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variances from the terms of the Ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of the Ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit of the Ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done.
In exercising its powers, the Board may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirement, decision or determination appealed from as in its opinion ought to be done in the premises, and to that end shall have all the powers of the Mayor from whom the appeal is taken. (Ord. 10-14. Passed 8-14-14.)
