Revised 1/2017
Under Section 1133.02 of the Grove City Codified Ordinances, the Board of Zoning Appeals has the power to grant variances from
the Zoning Code or Sign Code. No variance shall be granted unless the Board finds that all of the following facts and conditions exist:
(1) The variance granted will not be contrary to public interest or adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing
or working in the vicinity of the proposed development or be injurious to private property or public improvements in
the vicinity.
(2) Granting the variance requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by the Zoning
Code or Sign Code to other lands or structures in the same zoning district.
(3) A literal enforcement of the Zoning Code and Sign Code will result in unnecessary hardship by depriving the applicant
of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same zoning district under the terms of the Zoning Code or
Sign Code.
(4) Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land or structure involved, and which are not
applicable to other lands or structures in the same zoning district.
(5) The special conditions and circumstances do not result from the action of the applicant.
(6) The variance so granted does not violate the spirit of the Zoning Code. In granting a variance, the Board may impose
such requirements and/or conditions it deems necessary and are not inconsistent with substantial justice and avoiding
unreasonable hardship to property owners.
I have read Section 1133.02 and believe that my application for relief satisfies each of the six criteria set forth above in the
following ways (attach a separate sheet if needed):
1. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
