§ 11.05 Powers And Duties

The Board of Adjustment has the following powers and duties:

A. Appeals: To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there was error in any order, requirement, decision, or determination made by the Administrative Officer in the enforcement of this Ordinance.

B. Special Exceptions: To hear and decide special exceptions to the terms of this Ordinance upon which the Board is required to pass under this Ordinance.

C. Variances: To authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variance from this Ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this Ordinance would result in unnecessary hardship and so the spirit of this Ordinance is observed and substantial justice done. Under no circumstances may the Board of Adjustment grant a variance to allow a use not permissible under the terms of this Ordinance in the district involved, or any use expressly or by implication prohibited by the terms of this Ordinance in the district.
