Section 65911 Of Article 4. Open-space Zoning From California Government Code >> Division 1. >> Title 7. >> Chapter 4. >> Article 4.
65911
. Variances from the terms of an open-space zoning ordinance
shall be granted only when, because of special circumstances
applicable to the property, including size, shape, topography,
location or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning
ordinance deprives such property of privileges enjoyed by other
property in the vicinity and under identical zoning classification.
Any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will
assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a
grant of special privileges inconsistent with the limitations upon
other properties in the vicinity and zone in which such property is
situated.
This section shall be literally and strictly interpreted and
enforced so as to protect the interest of the public in the orderly
growth and development of cities and counties and in the preservation
and conservation of open-space lands.
