Variances shall only be issued upon: (1 ) A showing of good and sufficient cause; (2) A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in "exceptional hardship" (as defined in Article II of this Chapter) to the applicant; and A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, or extraordinary public expense, create a nuisance (as defined in Article II - see "Public Safety and Nuisance") cause fraud or victimization (as defined in Article II) of the public, or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances. Variances may be issued for new construction, substantial improvement, and other proposed new development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use provided that the provisions of Sections 41.6.3.A through 41.6.3.E are satisfied and that the structure or other development is protected by methods that minimize flood damage during the base flood and does not result in additional threats to public safety and does not create a public nuisance. Upon consideration of the factors of Section 41.6.2.A and for the purposes of this Chapter, the City Council may attach such conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this Chapter.
