§ 280-40. Review and approval criteria.

(a)

The Development Director shall have the authority to grant limited minor administrative variances from certain provisions of this zoning ordinance unrelated to parking, where the Development Director determines that:

(1)

The strict application of the requirements of this zoning ordinance would cause undue and unnecessary hardship to the property owner or authorized agent; and

(2)

The intent and continued integrity of the zoning ordinance can be achieved with equal performance and protection of public interests through grant of the administrative variance.

(b)

The Development Director shall have the authority to grant limited minor administrative variances from the minimum parking space requirements listed in Section 250-2, where the Development Director determines that:

(1)

Because of unique circumstances including the shape, topography, soils and vegetation of the site, the provision of the minimum or maximum number of required spaces would cause the applicant to suffer unique and undue hardship.

(2)

The site is located in an environmentally sensitive area, such as a water supply watershed, where stormwater runoff should be minimized.

(3)

The unique circumstances of the use make the minimum or maximum number of parking spaces excessive for actual needs.
