This bill allows county and city boards of adjustment to grant variances from zoning ordinances for specific properties.

The bill amends the Code to allow boards of adjustment to grant variances from zoning ordinances for area, dimensional, or numerical limitations, such as lot size and setbacks, when literal enforcement would cause practical difficulties for the property owner. The property owner must prove the difficulties are unique and not self-created, and that the variance will not significantly alter the neighborhood's character. This provision aims to balance property rights with community standards.
