Warren
Town of Warren Zoning Ordinance
§ 32-28

Standard for granting a dimensional variance

In granting a dimensional variance, the Zoning Board of Review shall, in addition to the above general standards, require that evidence be entered into the record of the proceedings showing that the hardship that will be suffered by the owner of the subject property if the dimensional variance is not granted shall amount to more than a mere inconvenience. This shall mean that there is no other reasonable alternative to enjoy a legally permitted beneficial use of one's property. The fact that a use may be more profitable or that a structure may be more valuable after the relief is granted shall not be grounds for relief. In addition, in granting a dimensional variance relating to a side or rear yard requirement, the zoning board of review shall not permit such a variance in excess of one-third (⅓) of the required distance.
