Land Use & Zoning

A Nebraska city's zoning code requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 sq ft. A developer proposes lots of 8,000 sq ft. The developer needs:

AA special use permit
BA variance from the minimum lot size requirement✓ Correct
CA rezoning of the entire area
DEnvironmental review only

Explanation

A variance is the appropriate remedy when a developer cannot meet a specific dimensional standard (like minimum lot size). The developer must show unique hardship and that the variance won't harm the neighborhood.
