The intent of this section is to provide an avenue of relief where, by reason of exceptional configuration, or by reason of other unique and extraordinary situations or conditions existing on a piece of property, the strict application of development regulations enacted under this title would result in peculiar, exceptional and undue hardship upon the owner of such property, which was not the result of actions of the applicant, property owner or a previous property owner or agent. [Ord. 726 § 2 (Exh. B), 2019.]
