Sub-Chapter 16: Application Reviews Conditional Use Permits <br />Page 917-18 <br />(M) Amendments to a Conditional Use Permit <br />A Conditional Use Permit may be amended or modified only in accordance with the <br />procedures and standards established when originally securing the conditional use permit. <br />A request for a change in the conditions of approval of a Conditional Use Permit shall be <br />considered an amendment and subject to the full review procedure set forth in this <br />subsection. An additional application fee may be required before the consideration of the <br />amendment request. <br /> <br />917.080 Variances <br />(A) Purpose and Scope <br />The variance process is intended to provide limited relief from the strict requirements of this <br />ordinance in those cases where the reasonable conditions of a particular requirement will <br />create practical difficulties because of circumstances unique to the property. It is not <br />intended that variances be granted to allow a use not permitted by the underlying zoning <br />district, nor to merely remove inconveniences or financial burdens that the requirements of <br />this ordinance may impose on property owners in general. Variances are intended to <br />address extraordinary, exceptional or unique situations that were not caused by the <br />applicant’s act or omission. Variances may be allowed from restrictions placed on non- <br />conformities. <br />(B) Initiation of Proceedings <br />Variances shall be initiated by an owner of property or an authorized representative of an <br />owner pursuant to Authority to File Applications. <br />(C) Application <br />(1) All applications for a variance shall be in accordance with the Common Review <br />Procedures and Requirements. <br />(2) In addition to the Common Review requirements, applications for a variance shall <br />also include the following: <br />(a) A narrative demonstrating that the criteria for a variance have been met; <br />(b) A site plan of the property showing all information necessary to allow the City <br />to determine conformance with all zoning provisions and to calculate the <br />specific variance being requested shall include but not be limited to: <br />1. Property and structure dimensions including height; <br />2. Building elevations as deemed necessary by the Community Development <br />Director; <br />3. Setback dimensions/measurements including separation between structures; <br />4. Parking and access locations, dimensions, and paving, striping and curbing <br />details; <br />5. If deemed necessary by the Community Development Director, a survey <br />may be required with the application in addition to a site plan. <br />(D) Criteria for Approving a Variance <br />(1) A variance may be approved only if these criteria are met: <br />(a) The request is in harmony with the purposes and intent of this ordinance
