(A) Power to authorize. The Commission may authorize, in specific cases, such variance from the terms of this chapter as will not be contrary to the public interest where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this chapter would result in unnecessary hardship. No nonconforming of neighboring lands, structures, or buildings in the same district and no permitted or nonconforming use of lands, structures, or buildings in other districts shall be considered grounds for issuance of a variance.
(B) Hardship. Variances 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.
