What Is A Use Variance?
Use variance. In addition to other criteria, the applicant must demonstrate that there are special reasons to deviate from the zoning ordinance. For example, a marina use might be found suited for waterfront property in a residential zone. Likewise, a private hospital for the emotionally disturbed might be found suited for property in a residential zone. Generally, there may be special reasons for the grant of a variance where the development advances a purpose of the Municipal Land Use Law or refusal of the variance might impose on the applicant an undue hardship. – Last Update: October 21, 2008 which is 460 days ago.
