A developer may request a variance to one or more requirements of this chapter when the location, shape or topography of the particular parcel of land is such that strict conformance to the requirements would cause undue hardship, serve no useful purpose, or be a detriment to the overall quality of the development. Such a variance must not be contrary to the requirements or the spirit of this chapter.

In the interpretation and application of this chapter, the provisions shall be held to be minimum requirements, adopted for the promotion of health, safety, morals, and general welfare. Whenever the requirements between this chapter and itself, the Butler County Subdivision Regulations, or the requirements of deed restrictions, covenants or other ordinances are at variance, the most restrictive, or that imposing the higher standard, shall govern.

The Council may, on the recommendation of the Planning Commission, authorize a conditional use to this chapter. The provisions of the conditional use shall be set forth on an individual basis. The conditional use shall be considered at a duly advertised public hearing, at the Planning Commission recommendation level and at the Council approval level, in compliance with the terms of this chapter and the Municipalities Planning Code.[1] In allowing a conditional use, Council may attach conditions, safeguards, and other provisions required by the character of the neighborhood.
