§ 112-3. Granting of exceptions.

The chief building official is granted the authority to issue a building permit where there are minor discrepancies with regard to the requirements established in this chapter, where it is determined that the literal application of such requirements would constitute an undue hardship with regard to the applicant's particular circumstances and would not be essential in accomplishing the objectives of this chapter. In areas that are fully or near fully developed, a variance of up to 30 percent of the number of off-street parking spaces required in this chapter shall be allowed by the chief building official if the conversion of a structure from a nonresidential use to another use would require the addition of more off-street parking and if it is determined that the literal application of such revisions would constitute an undue hardship with regard to the applicant's particular circumstances and would not be essential in accomplishing the objectives of this chapter. If the applicant is dissatisfied with the decision of the chief building official with regard to a requested exception, he shall be entitled to appeal such decision to the construction board of adjustment and appeals.
