		Zoning is a system of land use regulation which designates the permitted uses of land based on mapped zones, which separate one part of the community from another.
		In practice, zoning is used as a permitting system to prevent new development from harming existing residents or businesses.
		Land use zoning is widely considered an important tool in the treatment of certain social ills, a part of the larger concept of social engineering.

	German Village Guidelines for Zoning
		A land use variance deals with changes in use, expansion of non-conforming uses, and increased density of residential units allowed in a zoning district.
		Therefore, all of the current commercial and office uses in the Village are either non-conforming uses that have acquired variances to the Zoning Code, or preceded the R-2F zoning in 1972.
		Land use variances do not re-zone a property; they simply grant permission to use property in a very specific way.

		A land use variance is a license to use property in a way not permitted by a zoning ordinance.
		The city council's decision was not final absent a denial of a variance, and thus the plaintiff's claim was not appropriate for adjudication.
		Variances should be granted only when application of an ordinance creates practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship for a landowner, and the hardship should be unique or peculiar to the property for which the variance is sought.

		Under RCW 64.40.030, an action for damages incident to an application for a land use permit must be commenced within 30 days of the exhaustion of the final administrative remedy.
		In reviewing R/L's application Seattle's Department of Construction and Land Use (DCLU) found that its lot was a reverse corner lot and conditioned approval on the structure being limited to two stories rather than three (as proposed) and that any vegetation or fence at the street intersection not exceed 3 feet.
		R/L appealed to Seattle's hearing examiner who denied the variance, reasoning that without disclosure of how the lot would be developed (R/L had not submitted a revised development plan) it was not possible to meaningfully apply the City's variance criteria.

	EPA: Federal Register: No-Migration Variance From Land Disposal Restrictions for Exxon Mobil Corporation, Billings, MT ...
		In granting the original variance on July 27, 1993, we concluded that Exxon demonstrated to a reasonable degree of certainty that hazardous constituents would not migrate out of the land treatment facility at levels exceeding no-migration criteria for as long as the wastes remain hazardous.
		In accordance with 40 CFR 268.6(k), the variance is valid for up to ten years from the date of EPA approval of the petition, but no longer than the term of Exxon's RCRA permit.
		The term of the variance expires upon the termination or denial of Exxon's Montana hazardous waste permit No. MTHWP-99-02), which will expire on June 28, 2009, or when the volume limit of waste to be land disposed during the term of the variance is reached.

	EPA: Federal Register: Notice Proposing To Reissue a Variance From Land Disposal Restrictions Granted to Exxon Mobil ...
		In granting the original variance, we concluded that Exxon demonstrated to a reasonable degree of certainty that hazardous constituents would not migrate out of the land treatment facility at levels exceeding no-migration criteria for as long as the wastes remain hazardous.
		The present proposal considered how the terms of the original variance were affected by certain changes in waste application techniques and closure requirements incorporated into the recently issued Montana hazardous waste permit (No. MTHWP-99-02) and one failure to correctly manage a waste stream whose hazardous status had changed during the term of the original variance.
		In accordance with 40 CFR 268.6(k), the proposed variance will be valid for up to ten years from the date of EPA approval of the petition, but no longer than the term of Exxon's Montana hazardous waste permit, unless the permit is renewed or reissued.

		If a particular property were only 100 feet (30 m) deep, it would be impossible to build a house on the property, potentially resulting in an unlawful regulatory taking.

	Memorandum of Law
		There is nothing on the Comprehensive Land Use map that would indicate or allow anyone to predict that the subject property was intended to be used in the manner sought by Meijer.
		However, to rezone from single family residential to a special use that would be the largest retail store in Northeastern Illinois in the middle of predominantly residential land use is far beyond that which the courts would deem reasonable.
		Clearly, the Meijer proposed use would bring hardship to the public, but a denial of the requested zoning variance would cause no hardship to either Meijer or St. Procopius Abbey and allow for alternative proposals that would be mutually beneficial for the public and the Abbey.
