documents to insure conformity with the provisions of this chapter.

keep records of variance request decisions.

Address variance requests to the provisions of this chapter. As part
of the due process, there shall be a public hearing with public notice
for the variance request, so that substantial justice may be done.

a variance request in a manner that the public interest is secured

intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. The Land Use
Planning and Zoning Committee is not allowed to grant variances to
a state-mandated standard.
