Section 46-37(D) of the Code of Ordinances provides for the review and approval of an administrative variance of up to 10% of the requirements subject to the same criteria considered in determining a variance to zoning requirements found in Section 46-37(c). Please address the criteria below.
(c) Variance criteria.
(1) General.
a. If, upon consideration of the variance criteria set out in this subsection and (c)(2) below, it is determined that the case for approving a variance clearly outweighs the case for denial, the variance may be approved, providing that:
1. The variance does not permit the establishment or enlargement of any use or structure devoted to a use which is not permitted in the district in which the variance is requested;
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. The variance will be consistent with the comprehensive plan.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(2) Specific.
a. Prior to approving, approving with conditions or denying a variance, city council shall consider and determine, based upon substantial competent evidence, the following criteria:
1. Whether the plight of the applicant is due to unique circumstances not created by the applicant, an agent of the applicant or a predecessor in title of the applicant;
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
2. Whether special conditions or circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land or structure involved, and which are not applicable to other lands or structures in the same neighborhood or district;
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3. Whether the failure to grant the variance would result in unnecessary and undue hardship to the property;
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4. Whether the failure to grant the variance would deprive the owner of the reasonable use of the property;
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
5. Whether the variance will promote, or will not be inimical to, the health, safety and welfare of the community;
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
6. Whether the variance will be otherwise consistent with and in harmony with the general intent and purpose of this land development code;
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
7. Whether the variance is the most practical or logical solution to the need for relaxation of the literal requirements of this land development code;
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
8. Whether the variance will be injurious to the surrounding neighborhood or adjacent properties.
