1. The variance will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and land use district of the subject property; and

2. The variance is necessary because of special circumstances relating to the size, shape, topography, location or surroundings of the subject property to provide it with use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and in the land use district of the subject property; and

3. The granting of the variance will not be materially detrimental to property or improvements in the immediate vicinity of the subject property; and

4. The variance is not inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan; and

1. A variance to the requirements of Part 20.25H LUC may be granted only if the applicant demonstrates that a variance from other provisions of the LUC, where allowed under this part or Part 20.30H LUC, is not feasible. For purposes of this section, variances from the other provisions of the LUC shall be considered not feasible only when, considering the function to be served by the proposal, a variance to other provisions of the LUC, including non-critical area setbacks, will not realize the intended function of the proposal; and

2. Where the variance involves disturbance of a critical area or critical area buffer, the variance includes a mitigation plan meeting the requirements of LUC 20.25H.210; and

1. A variance shall only be issued upon a determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, nuisances, fraud on or victimization of the public, or conflict with existing laws or ordinances; and

2. For the repair, rehabilitation, or restoration of historic structures upon a determination that the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure’s continued designation as a historic structure and the variance is the minimum necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure; and

3. Upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief; and

4. Upon a showing of good and sufficient cause; and

5. Upon a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant; and

6. Variances shall not be issued within a designated floodway if any increase in flood levels during the base flood discharge would result; and

7. The granting of the variance will not foreseeably result in material being swept onto other lands that could cause injury to life or property; and

8. No other alternative development locations for the proposed structure or facility are available on the site that are not subject to flooding or erosion damage or reduced flooding and erosion; and

9. Generally, variances may be issued for new construction and substantial improvements to be erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing structures constructed below the BFE, provided the requirements of LUC 20.25H.175 through 20.25H.180 have been fully considered. As the lot size increases beyond one-half acre, the technical justification required for issuing the variance increases; and

10. In considering variance applications, the Director shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, all standards specified in LUC 20.25H.180, and:
