§ 3116.15. Criteria to determine substantial economic hardship.

The following criteria shall be used for all applicants to determine the existence of a substantial economic hardship:

(1)

Denial of a certificate will result in a substantial reduction in the economic value of the property;

(2)

Denial of a certificate will result in a substantial economic burden on the applicant because the applicant cannot reasonably maintain the property in its current form;

(3)

No reasonable alternative exists consistent with the architectural standards and guidelines for the property;

(4)

The owner has been unable to sell the property.
