Zoning Administrator Long read through Section 123.04.04 of the Zoning
Ordinance, the conditions for consideration of a variance: “… where by reason of
an exceptional situation, surroundings, or condition of a specific piece of property,
or by reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness or shape of a specific piece of
property of record, or by reason of exceptional topographical conditions that strict
application of any provision of this ordinance would result in peculiar and
exceptional practical difficulties or particular hardship upon the owner of such
property and amounts to a practical confiscation of property, as distinguished from
a mere inconvenience to such owner, provided such relief can be granted without
substantial detriment to the public good and without substantially impairing the
general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan as established by the
regulations and provisions of this ordinance.”; and,
123.05 “In considering all appeals and all proposed variations to this Ordinance,
the Board shall, before making any variation from the Ordinance in a specific case,
first determine that the proposed variation will not impair an adequate supply of
light and air to adjacent property, or unreasonably increase congestion in public
streets, or increase the danger of fire or endanger the public safety, or unreasonably
diminish or impair established property values within the surrounding area, or in
any other respect impair the public health, safety, comfort, morals or welfare of the
inhabitants of the City of Riverdale. The concurring vote of three (3) members of
the Board shall be necessary to reverse any order, requirement, decision or
determination of the Building Inspector, or Zoning Inspector or to decide in favor of
the applicant any matter upon which it is authorized by this Ordinance to render a
decision.”
