A variance is a use that is not generally permitted by the City's zoning ordinances but which is allowed in special cases only. A request for a variance from the City's zoning ordinances will be granted upon a showing of undue hardship by a property owner who is determined to have a unique situation. "Undue hardship" means that the property cannot be put to a reasonable use if the conditions of the zoning ordinances are followed, that the property owner's particular circumstances are unique and not self-created, and that granting a variance will not aIter the essential character of the locality or neighborhood. Economic hardship alone will not constitute undue hardship if some reasonable use currently exists under the terms of the City's zoning ordinance. If the property owner purchased the property knowing that the City's zoning ordinances prohibited a use, the property owner's circumstances are self-created. Minnesota Statutes (MS 462.357, Subd. 6) and City Code 154, Section 154.310 requires that the following conditions must be satisfied for approval of t.~is request. Please respond to these conditions using additional sheets of paper if necessary. 1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape or topographical conditions of the parcel or lot, the proposed variance would relieve an undue hardship, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, should the applicable ordinance be strictly enforced. 2. The purpose of the proposed variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land, but would correct extraordinary circumstances applicable to this property but not applicable to other property in the vicinity or zoning district.
