8. State your reasons for believing that a strict enforcement of the provisions of the zoning or subdivision
ordinance would cause practical difficulty. Practical difficulty means that the property owner proposed to use
the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the zoning ordinance, the plight of the landowner is due
to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner, and the variance, if granted, will not
alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute a practical
difficulty under the terms of Jordan City Code as referenced in state statutes:
