An exception to existing zoning rules granted to a property owner, such as reduced setbacks or increased height.

Rather than changing the underlying zoning classification (which is what rezoning does), a variance allows a property owner to deviate from specific rules - like setback distances, building height limits, lot coverage ratios, or parking requirements - while keeping the same zoning designation.
