17.36.030 Standard of hardship.
This section is included in your selections.
The planning commission may approve a variance from the requirements of this title only upon a finding that the strict application of the requirements of this title will result in undue hardship, which:
A. Will prevent the petitioner from making any reasonable use of the parcel; and
B. Arises out of a physical peculiarity of the parcel that was not caused by any prior private subdivision that created the parcel.
For the purposes of this chapter, “undue hardship” means conditions where reasonable development of a tract in compliance with the requirements of this title is rendered impossible because of a physical limitation that does not exist on other parcels in the city. “Undue hardship” does not include financial hardship. [Ord. 01-05 § 7.]
