Variance A VARIANCE (VAR) permits a variation from the terms of the zoning ordinance where, due to special circumstances applicable to the property (e.g., size, shape, location, topography, or surroundings), the strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity under identical zoning classifications. The Zoning Administrator cannot approve a Variance unless the following findings can be made. 1. Because of special circumstances applicable to the property, including but not limited to size, shape, topography, location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification. 2. The granting of the variance shall not constitute a grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon other property in the vicinity and zone in which such property is situated. 3. That the granting of the variance will not be in conflict with the intent and purpose of this A or the adopted Santa Barbara County Comprehensive Plan.
