In order for the Board members to vote in support of your application, you must prove several things by your application. Your application must clearly show that your property has UNIQUE CONDITIONS and CIRCUMSTANCES which separate it from other typical properties with the same zoning; and explain how these unique conditions and circumstances make it UNREASONABLE or UNFAIR to apply the STANDARD ordinance requirements to YOUR property, unlike the way they are applied to all other properties.

Also, the Board must be convinced that granting such a variance would not constitute an UNFAIR GRANT OF SPECIAL PRIVILEGE to you, granting privileges that are otherwise denied by the ordinance.
