Variances are intended to resolve practical difficulties or unnecessary physical hard- <br />ships that may result from the size, shape, or dimensions of a site or the location of <br />existing structures thereon; from geographic, topographic, or other physical conditions <br />on the site or in the immediate vicinity; or from street locations or traffic conditions in <br />the immediate vicinity of the site. <br /> <br />D. Variances may be granted only with respect to landscaping, screening, lot area, lot <br />dimensions, yards, height of structures, distances between structures, open space, <br />off-street parking and off-street loading, and performance standards. <br /> <br />Exhibit K: Proposed Amended Article 22 Page 1 <br />Note: underline and bolded text represents new text; strike-through text represents text to be eliminated
