To hear and decide by granting or denying an exception to this zoning ordinance in the following instances:
(a) 
A request for the extension of a district where the boundary line of a district divides a lot of record held in single ownership.
(b) 
Interpret the provisions of the zoning ordinance in such a way as to carry out the intent and purpose of the official Zoning District Map where the street layout actually existing on the ground varies from the street layout as shown on the map.
(c) 
Permit the erection and use of a building or the use of premises for railroads or public utility purposes.
(d) 
Permit the reconstruction of a nonconforming building which has been damaged by fire, explosion or act of God, to the extent of more than 65% of its fair market value, where the Board finds some compelling necessity requiring a continuance of the nonconforming use and the Board further finds that the public interest will best be served by permitting a continuance of the nonconforming use.
(e) 
Waive or reduce the parking, loading or screening requirements in any of the zoning districts whenever the character or use of the building is such as to make unnecessary the full provisions of such requirements, or where such regulations would impose an unreasonable hardship on the lot as contrasted with merely granting an advantage or convenience.
(f) 
Permit a use not specifically designated as a principal permitted use in a zoning district, provided that the Board determines that such use is similar and compatible to uses allowed as principal permitted uses in that district.
(3) 
To authorize upon appeal in specific cases variances from the terms of the zoning ordinance with respect to the area, dimensional, or other numerical limitations when the following are made to appear by the property owner:
(a) 
That a strict application of the terms of the zoning ordinance will impose upon the property owner unusual and practical difficulties or particular hardship.
(b) 
That the variance granted is in harmony with the general purpose, intent and spirit of the zoning ordinance.
(c) 
That the Board determines that the granting of the requested variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant but will alleviate some demonstrable practical difficulty unique to the property which is not self-created as to warrant a deviation from the zoning ordinance.
(d) 
That surrounding property will be protected and will not significantly alter the essential character of the neighborhood.
(e) 
That by granting the request for a variance substantial justice will be done.
(4) 
To authorize the granting of conditional uses as provided in Subsection F of this section.
E. 
Standards for review in general. In considering all requests for appeals, variances, exceptions or conditional uses, the Board, before making any decision in a specific case, shall first determine:

That the granting of a request will not permit any use which is not allowed as a permitted use, or as a conditional use except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this section, in the zoning district in which a property is located, or any use expressly or by implication prohibited from the district.
(2) 
That area, dimensional, or other numerical limitations subject to variances include but are not limited to requirements for minimum lot size, setbacks, yard widths, height, bulk, sidewalks, fencing, and signage.
(3) 
That it will not materially diminish or impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property.
(4) 
That it will not materially increase the congestion in public streets.
(5) 
That it will not materially increase the danger of fire or of the public safety.
(6) 
That it will not unreasonably diminish or impair established property values within the surrounding area.

That it will not in any other respect materially diminish or impair the public health, comfort, safety, morals or welfare of the inhabitants of the City.

Conditional uses.
(1) 
Intent. Conditional uses are those uses having certain special or unique characteristics which require a careful review of their location, design, configuration and impacts to determine the desirability of permitting their establishment on any given site. They are uses which may or may not be appropriate in a particular location depending upon consideration in each case of the public need, public benefit, local impact and specific site plan of the proposed conditional use, all within the context of the intent and purpose of this chapter and the Comprehensive Plan.

(c) 
After receiving the report from the Commission, and after conducting the public hearing on the application, the Board shall consider the application and shall either grant the application for conditional use, grant it subject to conditions or modifications or deny the application. In its view, the Board shall consider each of the standards for review of conditional use requests as set forth in this section.
(4) 
Conditions imposed. The Board may impose such conditions, including restrictions and safeguards, upon the proposed conditional use as considered necessary to prevent or minimize adverse effects upon other properties in the vicinity or upon public facilities and services.

Such conditions shall be expressly set forth in the approval of the conditional use. Violations of such conditions shall be a violation of this chapter.
(5) 
Standards for review of conditional use requests. In addition to the standards for review applicable to all requests under consideration by the Board, approval of a conditional use shall be granted only if the Board first determines:

That the conditional use applied for is provided in the zoning district within which the property is located.
(b) 
That the proposed use and development will be in accord with the intent and purpose of the zoning ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.
(c) 
That the proposed use and development will not have a substantial adverse effect upon adjacent property; the character of the neighborhood; traffic conditions; parking; utility and service facilities; and other factors affecting the public health, safety and welfare.
(d) 
That the proposed development or use will be located, designed, constructed and operated in such a manner that it will be compatible with the immediate neighborhood and will not interfere with the orderly use, development and improvement of surrounding property.

However, any expansion or extension of such preexisting use, or a change in use to another conditional use, shall be considered as a new conditional use and shall comply with the provisions of the zoning ordinance.
G. 
Relief less than requested. An appeal, variance, exception or conditional use different than that requested may be granted when the record supports the applicant's right to some relief but not to the relief requested.

Such conditions shall be expressly set forth in the grant of appeal, variance, exception or conditional use. Violation of such conditions shall be a violation of this chapter.
I. 
Permits and approvals still necessary. The granting of an appeal, variance, exception or conditional use by the Board shall not necessarily authorize immediate action. As appropriate and as required by the codes and ordinances of the City and state, other permits and approvals shall be obtained.
