A modification of the literal provisions of this chapter granted when strict enforcement of this chapter would cause undue hardship owing to circumstances unique to the individual property on which the variance is granted. The crucial points of variance are undue hardship and unique circumstances applying to the property. A variance is not justified unless both elements are present in the case.

These land uses could not be conveniently allocated to one zone or another, or the effects of such uses could not be definitely foreseen as of a given time. The general characteristics of these uses include one or more of the following:
