97
Q
  • Regulates the effects or impact of land uses through performance standards (such as traffic flow, density, noise and access to light and air). Developers can build almost any building that meets the performance standards for that district

    where the exception sought is located
  • An authorization granting a property owner relief from ZO provisions because the specific zoned use will result in hardship for the owner
