A developer may request a variance to one or more requirements
of this chapter when the location, shape or topography of the particular
parcel of land is such that strict conformance to the requirements
would cause undue hardship, serve no useful purpose, or be a detriment
to the overall quality of the development. Such a variance must not
be contrary to the requirements or the spirit of this chapter.
In the interpretation and application of this chapter, the provisions
shall be held to be minimum requirements, adopted for the promotion
of health, safety, morals, and general welfare. Whenever the requirements
between this chapter and itself, the Butler County Subdivision Regulations,
or the requirements of deed restrictions, covenants or other ordinances
are at variance, the most restrictive, or that imposing the higher
standard, shall govern.
The Council may, on the recommendation of the Planning Commission,
authorize a conditional use to this chapter. The provisions of the
conditional use shall be set forth on an individual basis. The conditional
use shall be considered at a duly advertised public hearing, at the
Planning Commission recommendation level and at the Council approval
level, in compliance with the terms of this chapter and the Municipalities
Planning Code. In allowing a conditional use, Council may attach conditions,
safeguards, and other provisions required by the character of the
neighborhood.
