When any person, by reason of special circumstances, is of the opinion that a variance is necessary or that any provision of any ordinance, rule or regulation of the department is unjust or inequitable as applied to his facilities or property and that such special circumstances make his facilities or property different from any other properties which are subject to the provision complained of, that person may make written application to the city council stating the special circumstances, citing the provision complained of and requesting suspension or modification of that provision as applied to his facilities or property. If the city council makes findings in accord with the required allegations of the application, he may suspend or modify the provision complained of, as applied to such facilities or property, to be effective as of the date of the application and continuing to a specified date or during the period of the special circumstances, as limited by Section 13.08.540.
