structure's continued designation as a historic structure and the variance is the minimum <br />necessary to preserve the historic character and design of the structure. <br />2. Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway if any increase in flood levels <br />during the base flood discharge would result. Variance requests in the designated floodway <br />shall be accompanied by a professional engineering analysis of the resultant base flood <br />discharge. <br />3. Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, <br />considering the flood hazard, to afford relief and upon: <br />a. A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship to <br />the applicant; and <br />!

Variances as interpreted in the National Flood lnsurance Program are based on the general <br />zoning law principle that they pertain to a physical piece of property; they are not personal in <br />nature and do not pertain to the structure, its inhabitants, economic or financial circumstances. <br />They primarily address small lots in densely populated residential neighborhoods. As such, <br />variances from the flood elevation requirements should be quite rare. <br />.1,.. Variances may be issued for nonresidential buildings in very limited circumstances to allow a <br />lesser degree of flood-proofing than watertight or dry-flood-proofing, where it can be <br />determined that such action will have low damage potential, and comply with all other variance <br />criteria. <br />1;,.0.-I!u.[j-qsdp-!,aurAcimiflgrator :l)alL-e oltr1jlLer !ht: .tart;;rrtr.s ff.
