§ 10-9.601. Purpose of a Variance.
Latest version.
The Board may grant variances, when practical difficulties, unnecessary hardships or inconsistencies with the general purpose of this Title result from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of its provisions. The sole purpose of a variance shall be to prevent discrimination, and no variance shall be granted which would have the effect of granting a special privilege not shared by other property in the same zone and immediate vicinity.
