The planning commission or hearing examiner may permit variances, after a public hearing, from the provisions or requirements of this title only in such cases where it appears that strict compliance with the provisions or requirements is not reasonably possible.

Any cost to the city of any required engineer review or study shall be paid prior to final determination on the application. All fees are nonrefundable. The fees set forth herein shall be subject to change by resolution of the city council. No such variance shall be authorized unless the planning commission or hearing examiner finds that all of the following facts or conditions exist:

A. That the variance shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitation upon uses of other properties in the vicinity and zone in which the property on behalf of which the application was filed is located;

B. That such variance is necessary because of special circumstances, relating to the size, shape, topography, location or surroundings of the subject property, to provide it with use rights and privileges permitted to other properties in the vicinity and in the zone in which the subject property is located;

C. That the granting of such variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity and zone in which the subject property is situated.
