WARRANTS AND VARIANCES <br />1.5.1. There shall be two types of deviation from the requirements of this Code: Warrants <br />and Variances. <br />1.5.2. A Warrant is a ruling that would permit a practice that is not consistent with a spe- <br />cific provision of this Code but is justified by the provisions of Section 1.3 Intent. <br />The Planning and Zoning Commission (P &Z) shall have the authority to approve <br />or disapprove a request for a Warrant pursuant to regulations established. A war- <br />rant subject to the review of the P &Z shall require a public hearing and personal <br />notice of the public hearing be sent to property owners within 200 feet of the subject <br />property. Personal notice shall be sent by regular mail before the tenth day before <br />the hearing date. <br />1.5.3. A Variance is any ruling on a deviation other than a Warrant. Variances shall be <br />granted only in accordance with the State of Texas Statutes, Chapter 211 of the <br />Local Government Code, as amended. <br />1.5.4. The request for a Warrant or Variance shall not subject the entire application to <br />public hearing, but only that portion necessary to rule on the specific issue requir- <br />ing the relief. <br />1.5.5. The following standards shall not be available for Warrants: <br />a. The maximum dimensions for traffic lanes. <br />b. The required provision of Rear Alleys. <br />c.
