§ 6.04.6401. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • To ensure that variances are only granted when, because of special or unique circumstances applicable to the property, including location, shape, size, surroundings or topography, the strict application of this ordinance denies the property of privileges enjoyed by other property located nearby and in an identical zoning district and conditions are applied which will ensure that the variance shall not constitute a granting of special privilege(s) inconsistent with the limitations upon other property in the vicinity and zoning district in which the property is located.

    Further, to ensure that the power to grant variances does not extend to use regulations, flexibility in use regulations is provided in Section 6.04.78 (Conditional use permits).
