MODEL ZONING
ORDINANCE
1. Variance
a. The property is unique and different
from other properties in the adjacent
locality and because of its uniqueness,
the owner/s cannot obtain a reasonable
return on the property.
12
Variance
a special locational clearance which grants a
property owner relief from certain provisions of
Zoning Ordinance where, because of the
particular physical surrounding, shape or
topographical conditions of the property,
compliance with the height, area, setback, bulk
and/or density requirements would result in a
particular hardship upon the owner, as
distinguished from a mere inconvenience or a
desire to gain benefits or profits.
13
* Conforming to the provisions of the Ordinance will cause undue hardship on the
part of the owner or occupant of the property due to physical conditions of the
property (topography, shape, etc.) which is not self created.
* The proposed variance is the minimum deviation necessary to permit
reasonable use of the property.
* The variance will not alter the physical character of the district or zone where
the property for which the variance sought is located, and will not substantially or
permanently injure the use of the other properties in the same district
or zone.
* That the variance will not weaken the general purpose of the Ordinance and will
not adversely affect the public
health, safety or welfare.
* The variance will be in harmony with the spirit of this Ordinance.

Non-Conforming Uses
A nonconforming use is a permitted use of property which
would otherwise be in violation of the current zoning
ordinance. The use is permitted because the land owner was
using the land or building for that use before the zoning
ordinance became effective. Nonconforming uses are often
referred to as being "grandfathered in" to a zoning code. In
order to qualify for nonconforming use, the property almost
always needs to have been continuously put to the nonconforming use. Thus, if the businesses closes and the use
lapses for any time, the permission for the nonconforming use
could vanish.

Eminent Domain
Eminent domain is the power of government to take private
property and use it for public use. Public use includes the traditional
government activities of building roads, government and public
facilities such as government buildings and parks, as well as more
generally beneficial activities assured through protection of scenic
areas, wetlands, and historic landmarks. If the government zones a
piece of property such that the property owner can no longer
effectively use the parcel of land, eminent domain may be
applicable, and the property owner may be able to sue for
compensation because the land has been "taken" by the
government
