In exercising its authority, the Board of Zoning Appeals shall not grant a variance that would create any of the following effects:

(a) The effect of the variance on the specific property would adversely affect the land use pattern as outlined by any City land use plan or policy.

(b) The variance would be a material detriment to the public welfare or create injury to the use, enjoyment or value of property in the vicinity.

(c) The variance is not the minimum variance that will relieve the proven hardship.

(d) The variance would allow a use not allowed in the permitted zoning district in which the parcel is located.

(e) The variance will relieve the applicant of conditions or circumstances that are caused by the illegal subdivision of land, which subdivision of land caused the property to be unusable for any reasonable development under the existing regulations.

(f) The variance is grounded solely upon the opportunity to make the property more profitable or to reduce expense to the owner.

(g) The variance will modify one or more conditions imposed by the Governing Body as part of a conditional use permit or planned unit development. (Ord. 20206 § 78, 9-10-19; Ord. 19691 § 8, 1-17-12. Formerly 2.45.140.)
