Provisions of this chapter are of general application to several districts unless otherwise noted. It is the intent of this title to provide standards sufficient to afford continuing protection to property and yet be adaptable enough to avoid unnecessary hardship or interference with growth and natural change. Those special deviations are to be contrasted with the granting of a variance which requires discretionary action by the Board of Adjustment where standards cannot be completely defined.
