(Prior Code, § 1004.09) § 1004.10 RESPONSIBILITY. Neither the issuance of a permit nor compliance with the conditions thereof, nor with the provisions of this chapter shall relieve any person from any responsibility otherwise imposed by law for damage to persons or property; nor shall the issuance of any permit hereunder serve to impose any liability on the city or its officers or employees for injury or damage to persons or property. A permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall not relieve the permittee of the responsibility in complying with any other requirements established by law, ordinance, or regulation. (Prior Code, § 1004.10) § 1004.11 VARIANCE. The Council may authorize in specific cases following appeal and hearing a variance from the provisions of this chapter would result in a substantial inequitable hardship to an applicant property owner. In assessing hardship, the Council shall balance the severity of the physical, social, and economic effects of the literal application against the interests of the city in effecting the purposes of this chapter as expressed above. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute a hardship if a reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of this chapter. No variance may be granted which would allow any use that is prohibited in the zoning district in which the subject property is located. A variance shall be granted in writing accompanied by specific findings of fact as to the necessity for the granting of the variance and its specific provisions. (Prior Code, § 1004.11)
