A floodplain management variance may be considered under the following circumstances:
1. Variances may be issued for the repair or rehabilitation of historic structures upon a determination that
the proposed repair or rehabilitation will not preclude the structure's continued designation as an historic
structure and the variance is the minimum to preserve the historic character and design of the structure.
2. Variances may be issued for development necessary for the conduct of a functionally dependent use,
provided the criteria of this Section are met, no reasonable alternative exists, and the development is
protected by methods that minimize flood damage during the base flood and create no additional threats
to public safety.
