The purpose and intent of this section is to permit minor zoning adjustments where practical difficulties or results inconsistent with the general purpose of this chapter would occur from its strict literal interpretation. The adjustment review process provides a mechanism by which regulations may be modified to provide flexibility for unusual situations and to allow for alternative ways to meet the purposes of this chapter, while continuing to provide certainty and efficient processing for land use applications.
