What is a variance and when is it needed?

A variance allows you to deviate in some way from he requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. You may request a variance if certain physical conditions of your property (e.g. size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings) make it impossible or unreasonable for you to strictly comply with the Zoning Ordinance.

What is the difference between a zoning variance and a conditional use permit?

Conditional use permit allows specific land use not generally permitted in a zoning district. Variance grants exceptions to zoning regulations for property owners. Conditional use permit doesnt change zoning designation, while Variance deviates from requirements.

What are the benefits of conditional zoning?

A variance is an exception to the existing zoning, whereas a nonconforming use (also known as a grandfather clause) arises when there is a change to the zoning but an existing use is still permitted to continue.

What is a zoning variance?

The primary difference is that a land use permit is approved by the Zoning Administrator and does not require approval by the Zoning Committee. A conditional use permit does require a public hearing and approval by the Zoning Committee.

What is the difference between variance and spot zoning?

A zoning variance refers to a landowner obtaining permission to use the land differently than the zoning regulations, while spot zoning refers to a small parcel of land that is zoned differently than neighboring parcels. Spot zoning often benefits the landowner.

What does variance mean in zoning?

A variance is a request to deviate from current zoning requirements. If granted, it permits the owner to use the land in a manner not otherwise permitted by the zoning ordinance. It is not a change in the zoning law. Instead, it is a specific waiver of requirements of the zoning ordinance.

What is the difference between a conditional use permit and a land use permit?

A conditional use permit (CUP) allows a landowner to use their land in a way not permitted by ordinary zoning regulations. They can address nearly any type of non-conforming use, from building height and density to setbacks and myriad other specific commercial zoning issues.
