Two types of “c” variances can be granted: (c) 1: in cases of hardship, such as “exceptional narrowness, shallowness or shape of specific piece of property,” or by reason of exceptional or unique topographic conditions, physical features, or an exceptional situation uniquely affecting a specific piece of property or the structures lawfully existing thereon. (c) 2: where the purposes of zoning would be advanced, and the benefits derived by the variance would outweigh any detriments.
