HARDSHIP
PROOF FOR A VARIANCE. It shall be incumbent upon an applicant to conclusively prove at the public hearing that, if compelled to meet the provisions of this Ordinance, the applicant cannot secure reasonable use of the property; that the hardship claimed results from the application of the provisions of this Ordinance; that the hardship claimed is suffered by the property directly, and not merely by other properties; that the hardship claimed is not the result of the applicant's own actions.
