Pawn 1st, LLC v. City of Phoenix – 8/10/2017

September 5, 2017
The Arizona Supreme Court holds that (1) to obtain an area variance, an applicant must show that strictly applying a zoning ordinance will cause “peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties” that deprive a property of privileges enjoyed by other similarly zoned properties, and (2) the applicant’s desire to use the property for purposes allowed on other similarly zoned properties does not constitute a self-imposed special circumstance justifying denial of an area variance.
