A. The planning commission is delegated the authority to approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove any proposed variance from the provisions of this title. Where practical difficulties, unnecessary hardships, and results inconsistent with the general purposes of this title and the Talent comprehensive plan would result from the strict and literal interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this title, variances may be granted as provided in this chapter.

B. No variances shall be granted to allow the use of property for a purpose not authorized within the zone in which such property is located.

C. In granting a variance, the planning commission may attach conditions that it finds necessary to protect the best interests of the surrounding property or neighborhood and otherwise achieve the purposes of this chapter. [Ord. 817 § 8-3L.410, 2006.]
