§ 110-107. Variances to Required Subdivision Improvements.

Where the BOCC finds that exceptional hardship may result from strict compliance with the provisions of the plan regarding street design standards, bikeways, drainage standards, easements, permanent markers, sewage and electricity utilities (excluding electricity over which the Public Services Commission of the State of Florida exercises jurisdiction), public sites and excavations within dedicated public rights-of-way, the BOCC, on the recommendations of the Planning Director and the Planning Commission, may grant variances to the regulations herein; however, in no event shall a variance be granted for more than the minimum necessary to overcome the hardship, or where the variance would create a condition in violation of the specific provisions for that land use (zoning) district, or reduce the traffic capacity of adjacent streets, or otherwise violate the intent of this Land Development Code. In no event shall a variance be granted which would violate the environmental standards in Chapter 118. Any applicant requiring a variance shall state clearly in the original application for plat approval the variance required, and any variances granted shall be clearly delineated as such on the approved and recorded plat.
