Important Notice

1. Please be advised that failure to submit a complete

application, with all supporting documents, could delay

your hearing date. The Zoning Board will not

consider a request until all information is submitted and

accurate.

2. Please be advised that the application deadline dates

posted are designed to allow the staff time to review the

application and receive required comments from

coordinating agencies. The application is not considered

complete until all required information from the

applicant is available for review by the staff and

coordinating agencies.

3. Please see reverse of this sheet to determine the

deadline dates for filing your application.

F. Answer following six questions individually with

each having been numbered and addressed on a separate

piece of paper.

1. Demonstrate that special conditions and

circumstances exist which are peculiar to the land,

structure, or building involved and which are not

applicable to other lands, structures, or buildings in the

same district. (i.e., What is special about your property

that you need to request a variance?)

2. Demonstrate that the special conditions and

circumstances do not result from the actions of the

applicant. (i.e., Show that you did not cause the need for

the variance.)

3. Demonstrate that an unnecessary hardship is

created by the physical character of the property and is

peculiar and unusual to such an extent that it is evidence

that amendment of the zoning ordinance does not offer a

reasonable solution. (i.e., Explain what your hardship is

and why the property cannot comply with the zoning

ordinance. Further, explain why this hardship is not

commonly found on other properties?)

4. Demonstrate how the literal interpretation of the

provisions of the zoning ordinance would deprive the

applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by properties in

the same district under the terms of the zoning ordinance.

(i.e., Explain how the request meets the right of

reasonable economic return and/or the right to reasonable

development of your property which might generally be

expected in your district.)

5. Demonstrate that the granting of the variance

will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that

is denied by this ordinance to other lands, structures, or

buildings in the same district, other than to permit the

applicant to use their property in a manner as nearly

equivalent to uses generally permitted in the district

considering the conditions and circumstances involved

and hardship. (i.e., Will you receive any special benefit

that others who follow the Zoning Ordinance cannot

receive?)

6. State whether the use proposed is permissible by

right, with planning approval or by special exception with

respect to uses of land or structures.

G. An affidavit stating the request is not in violation of

restrictive or protective covenants.

H. Cash or check payable to the City of Gulfport in the

amount of $75.00.
