Variance Review
The Development Review Committee may grant a variance from
the terms of the Land Development Code when such variance will not be contrary
to the public interest; where, owing to special conditions, a literal
enforcement of the provisions of this code would result in unnecessary hardship
or where improved or alternative technology would meet or exceed the development
and construction standards set forth in this code. Such variance shall
not be granted if it has the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of this
code.
Furthermore, such variance shall not be granted by the Development Review
Committee unless and until a variance application is submitted demonstrating
compliance with one or more of the following:
1.
That
special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land,
structures, or required subdivision improvements involved, and which are not
applicable to other lands, structures, or required improvements.
2.
That a
literal interpretation of the provisions of this code would deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties with similar
conditions.
3.
That
the actions of the applicant did not cause the special conditions and
circumstances which necessitate the variance.
4.
That
the granting of the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any
special privilege that is denied by this code to other lands, structures, or
required improvements under similar conditions.
5.
Through improved or alternative technology, the development
and construction standards set forth in this code are met or exceeded.
6.
The
Development Review Committee finds that the requirements of this code have been
met based upon the review and findings of the Development Review Services
Department and information presented at a public hearing.
7.
The
Development Review Committee further finds that the reasons set forth in the
application justify the granting of the variance that would make possible the
reasonable use of the land, buildings, or other improvements.
8.
The
Development Review Committee finds that the granting of the variance would be in
harmony with the general standards, purpose, and intent of this code and will
not be injurious to the surrounding territory, or otherwise be detrimental to
the public welfare.
9.
The
Development Review Committee finds that the granting of the variance would not
violate the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
