these Regulations or the standards referred to herein with respect to any violation thereof
which occurs within the town or within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the Town as such
jurisdiction is determined under the Municipal Annexation Act, or within any area subject to
all or a part of the provisions of these Regulations_
Article 6, Enforcement 6-1
SECTION 6.14 Variances to the Subdivision Regulations:
The Town Council of the Town of Trophy Club shall have the ultimate power to grant or
reject variances to the subdivision regulations upon receipt of a recommendation from the
Planning and Zoning Commission. The Town Council may authorize a variance from
these Regulations when, in its opinion, undue hardship will result from requiring strict
compliance. In granting a variance, the Town Council shall prescribe only conditions that
it deems necessary to or desirable in the public interest. In making the findings
hereinbelow required, the Town Council shall take into account the nature of the proposed
use of the land involved, existing uses of land in the vicinity, the number of persons who
will reside or work in the proposed subdivision, and the probable effect of such variance
upon traffic, conditions and upon the public health, safety, convenience and welfare in the
vicinity. No variance shall be granted unless the Town Council finds:
1. That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the land involved such
that the strict application of the provisions of these Regulations would deprive the
applicant of the reasonable use of the land; and
?. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial
property right of the applicant; and
3. That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public health, safety
or welfare, or injurious to other property in the area; and
4. That the granting of the variance will not have the effect of preventing the orderly
subdivision of other land in the area in accordance with the adopted Comprehensive
Land Use Plan and the provisions of these Regulations.
Such findings of the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Town Council, together
with the specific facts upon which such findings are based, shall be incorporated into the
official minutes of the Town Council meeting at which such variance is granted or denied.
Variances may be granted only when in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the
adopted Comprehensive Land Use Plan and these Regulations so that the public health,
safety and welfare may be secured and substantial justice done. Pecuniary hardship to the
subdivider, standing alone, shall not be deemed to constitute undue hardship.
