What is Variance?
An exception to existing zoning rules granted to a property owner, such as reduced setbacks or increased height.
A variance is an authorized departure from the strict requirements of a zoning ordinance. 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.
