Basic Criteria. The Board of Adjustment may grant a Variance if it makes affirmative findings of fact on each of the following criteria:

The Zoning Regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use.

The plight of the owner of the property is due to unique circumstances existing on the property, and the unique circumstances were not created by the owner of the property and are not merely financial, and are not due to or the result of general conditions in the zoning district in which the property is located.

The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property and will not impair the purposes or regulations to the Zoning District in which the property is located.

Parking: Additional Criteria. The City Council may grant a Variance to a regulation prescribed by this ordinance with respect to the number of off-street spaces or loading facilities required if it makes findings of fact that the following additional criteria are also satisfied:

Neither present nor anticipated future traffic volumes generated by the use of the site or the uses of sites in the vicinity reasonably require strict or literal interpretations and enforcement of the specific regulation.

The granting of the Variance will not result in the parking or loading of vehicles on public streets in such a manner as to interfere with the free flow of traffic of the streets.

The granting of the Variance will not create a safety hazard or any other condition inconsistent with the objectives of this ordinance.

The Variance shall run with the use or uses to which it pertains, and shall not run with the site.
