Variances may be granted provided that such uses shall be found to comply with the following standards.
(A) Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the specific property involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience if the strict letter of these zoning regulations were to be carried out.
(B) The conditions upon which the application for variance is based are unique to the property for which the variance is sought, and are not applicable, generally, to other property in the same zoning district.
(C) The purpose of the variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase financial gain.
(D) The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by strict interpretation of these zoning regulations and has not been created by any persons presently having an interest in the property.
(E) The granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in the neighborhood in which the property is located.
(F) The proposed variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
