24.19.410 PURPOSES AND AUTHORIZATION

A. Variances from the terms of the Zoning Ordinance shall be granted only when, because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. Any Variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the deviation thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated.

B. A Variance does not extend to conditional use regulations. Flexibility to the zoning regulations is provided in the Conditional Uses provisions of this Ordinance.

Cee The Planning Commission may grant Variances to the Zoning Regulations prescribed by this Ordinance in accord with the procedure prescribed in this Section, with respect to fences, walls, hedges, screening and landscaping; width, and depth; front, rear, and side yards; coverage; height of structures; distances between structures; usable open space; signs; off-street parking facilities, or frontage on a public street.
