The Board shall have the following powers and it shall be its duty to:
(a) Hear and determine appeals from and review any order, requirement, decision or determination made by the Mayor in the enforcement of this Zoning Ordinance.
(b) Hear and decide on permits for conditional uses, development plans or other uses upon which the Board is required to act under this Zoning Ordinance.
(c) Authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variances from the terms of this Zoning Ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest where, owing to special conditions, fully demonstrated on the basis of the facts presented, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this Zoning Ordinance will result in unnecessary hardship and so that the spirit of this Zoning Ordinance shall be observed and substantial justice done.
In exercising its powers, the Board may reverse or affirm, wholly or partially, 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.
