Variances
A variance is a tool that allows an exception to certain development standards such as setbacks, building height, lot dimensions and other similar Code requirements. Variances are generally intended to apply to property with special circumstances and constraints including size, shape, topography, location or surroundings. A variance is used when strict application of the zoning ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other property in the vicinity and the same zoning classification. There are two types of Variances within the City: staff reviews a Class B Variance following a Type II process, and a Class A Variance is reviewed by the Sherwood Planning Commission, as a Type IV process.
