Sec. 24 -191. Waiver.
(a) General. Where the City Commission finds that undue hardship due to unreasonable
practical difficulties may result from strict compliance with this Article, the City Commission
may approve a waiver to the requirements of this Article if the waiver serves the public
interest.
(b) Conditions of waiver. An Applicant seeking a waiver shall submit to the City Commission a
written request for the waiver stating the reasons for the waiver and the facts, which support
the waiver. The City Commission shall not approve a waiver unless it determines as follows.
(1) The particular physical conditions, shape or topography of the specific property involved
causes an undue hardship to the Applicant if the strict letter of the Article is carried out.
(2) The granting of the waiver will not be injurious to the other adjacent property.
(3) The conditions, upon which a request for waiver are based, are peculiar to the property
for which the waiver is sought, are not generally applicable to other property and do not
result from actions of the Applicant.
(4) The waiver is consistent with the intent and purpose of this Chapter, the Comprehensive
Plan and the requirements of this Article. If the City Commission approves a waiver, the
City Commission may attach such conditions to the waiver as will ensure that the waiver
will comply with the intent and purpose of this Article.
