Information on the Criteria for an Area Variance or a Use Variance
Area Variances: As per Article XXV, Section 270-213 of Town of Ithaca Code and Section 267-b of Town
Law, the Zoning Board of Appeals, in making its determination for an area variance, will apply a balancing test
of the benefit to the applicant weighed against the detriment to the health, safety, and welfare of the community
by granting the area variance. You, as the appellant, have the burden of proving that your proposal meets
the majority of the criteria below. You should come to the Zoning Board of Appeals meeting prepared to
prove that:
a. an undesirable change will not be produced in the character of the neighborhood or a detriment to nearby
properties will not be created by granting the area variance,
b. the benefit sought by the applicant cannot be achieved by some other method feasible for the applicant to
pursue, other than the area variance,
c. the requested area variance is not substantial,
d. the proposed area variance will not have an adverse affect or impact on the physical or environmental
conditions in the neighborhood or district, and
e. the alleged difficulty was not self-created.
Use Variances: As per Article XXV, Section 270-213 of Town of Ithaca Code and Section 267-b of
Town Law, the Zoning Board of Appeals, in making its determination to grant a use variance, will consider the
unnecessary hardship caused by the applicable zoning regulation, and will determine if the applicant has
satisfactorily demonstrated ALL of the following criteria. You, as the appellant, have the burden of proving
that your proposal meets ALL of the criteria below. You should, therefore, come to the Zoning Board of
Appeals meeting prepared to prove that:
a. the applicant (you) cannot realize a reasonable return, provided that lack of return is substantial as
demonstrated by competent financial evidence,
b. the alleged hardship relating to the property in question is unique and does not apply to a substantial portion
of the district or neighborhood,
c. the requested use variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood, and
d. the alleged hardship has not been self-created.
Please complete the attached "Area Variance Criteria Form" for area variances ONLY. Contact
Planning and Zoning administrative staff for the "Use Variance Criteria Sheet."
