property informing them of the date, time, location, and purpose of the hearing. This Public <br />Hearing is intended to allow the BOA, property owners, and the applicant an opportunity to review <br />and discuss the request. <br />In accordance with the provisions of Section 2.10.3 of the UDO, the BOA may approve a <br />variance in cases where unnecessary hardships would result from carrying out the strict letter of <br />the UDO, when substantial evidence in the official record of the application supports all of the <br />following findings: <br />(A) Unnecessary hardship would result from the strict application of the Ordinance. It <br />shall not be necessary to demonstrate that, in the absence of the variance, no <br />reasonable use can be made of the property. <br />(B) The hardship results from conditions that are peculiar to the property, such as <br />location, size, or topography. Hardships resulting from personal circumstances, as <br />well as hardships resulting from conditions that are common to the neighborhood <br />or general public, may not be the basis for granting a variance. <br />(C) The hardship did not result from actions taken by the applicant or the property <br />owner. The act of purchasing property with knowledge that circumstances exist <br />that may justify the granting of a variance shall not be regarded as a self-created <br />hardship. <br />(D) The requested variance is consistent with the spirit, purpose, and intent of the <br />Ordinance, such that public safety is secured and substantial justice is achieved. <br />The Public Hearing has been scheduled as follows: <br />Date: Monday February 10, 2020 <br />Time: 7:00 p.m. <br />Location:300 West Tryon Street (Whitted Building) Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />If you have questions, or require additional assistance, please contact a Current Planning <br />staff member at (919) 245-2575.
