Commentary: There must exist special circumstances or conditions, fully described in the

circumstances or conditions are peculiar to such land or buildings and do not apply generally
to land or buildings in the neighborhood, and which circumstances or conditions are such

(4) There must be a showing of unnecessary hardship.
Commentary: It is not sufficient proof of hardship to show that greater profit would result if
the variance were granted. Furthermore, the hardship complained of cannot be self-created;
nor can it be established on this basis by one who purchases with or without knowledge of
the restrictions; it must result from the application of this ordinance; it must be suffered
directly by the property in question; and evidence of variance granted under similar

(5) There must be a showing that a variance is necessary for the reasonable use of the land

impair property values within the adjacent neighborhood.

the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this ordinance to other lands, structures,

necessary to secure substantially the objectives of the regulations or provisions to which the
variance applies.
Staff recommends: To accept the variance as requested due to the unique circumstances
