Sec. 5-73. - Variance applications.

(a)

Any permit holder or permit applicant may apply to the local agency for a variance from specific requirements of this article.

(b)

Variances will be considered based on the submission of clear and convincing justification or evidence that the granting of a variance will not pose a significant threat to public health, public safety, or the environment. Should the variance be denied, the applicant may appeal the denial to the city council. Failure to file a written appeal with the city clerk within 30 days of said determination shall be deemed a waiver of the right to appeal.

(c)

Variances may be revoked by the local agency upon ten days' written notice sent to applicant by regular mail at applicant's last address contained in applicant's last filed application. Said variance may be revoked because of operational changes such as, but not limited to, a change in the justification or evidence submitted with the original variance application, or for violations of applicable laws and/or regulations.
