It is not intended that variances be granted to allow a use not permitted by the underlying zoning district, nor to merely remove inconveniences or financial burdens that the requirements of this ordinance may impose on property owners in general. Variances are intended to address extraordinary, exceptional or unique situations that were not caused by the applicant’s act or omission. Variances may be allowed from restrictions placed on nonconformities.
