Variance Guidelines

Your variance request must meet the following criteria in order to be approved (Sect. 35.2-12.7):

1. The property interest for which the variance is requested was acquired in good faith and any hardship was not created by the applicant for the variance; and
    
2. Granting of the variance will not be of substantial detriment to adjacent property and nearby properties in proximity of that geographical area; and
    
3. The condition or situation of the property concerned is not so general or recurring a nature as to make reasonably practicable the formulation of a general regulation to be adopted as an amendment to the ordinance; and
    
4. The granting of the variance does not result in a use that is not otherwise permitted on such property or a change in the zoning classification of the property; and
    
5. The relief or remedy sought by the variance application is not available through a special exception process that is authorized in the ordinance.
