A variance is request for an exception to the requirements or restrictions contained in a municipality’s zoning ordinance. Ordinarily, in order to show entitlement to a variance, an applicant must demonstrate all the following elements:
A special exception is a permitted use within a specified zoning district. However, a property owner must apply to a zoning hearing board to obtain approval and must establish certain criteria before the zoning hearing board to be entitled to a special exception.
A conditional use is similar to a special exception in that it is a permitted use within a zoning district. Instead of the zoning hearing board deciding the matter though, the governing body of the municipality makes the decision. As the name suggests, conditions are often attached to an approval of such a use.
