Variance
The board may grant variances from the terms of the Zoning Ordinance concerning the construction or placement of buildings and structures associated with permitted uses when, due to peculiar conditions, a strict interpretation would work an unnecessary hardship, if in granting the variance the general intent and purposes of the Zoning Ordinance will be preserved. “Peculiar conditions” must relate to the property on which the use is proposed and shall include exceptional narrowness, shallowness or shape, unusual topographic features, or other extraordinary features of the property or its surroundings which would result in unnecessary hardship for the owner if the Zoning Ordinance were strictly applied. No variance shall be granted if the hardship has been self-imposed by the owner or is a matter of mere inconvenience or personal preference. In granting a variance, appropriate conditions to preserve the intent and purposes of the Zoning Ordinance may be prescribed. A variance shall not be granted so as to allow a use not permitted by the regulations applicable to the zoning district in which the property is located.
