<br />a. No one has an absolute right to use his property in a manner <br />that may harm the public health or welfare, or damage the <br />interests of neighboring landowners or the community as a <br />whole. <br />b. Reasonable or beneficial use includes the owner's ability to <br />continue to carry out the traditional or existing use or <br />whether a viable use for the property remains as a result of <br />the denial of the Certificate of Approval. <br />c. Whether the hardship was self imposed in that the ordinance <br />was in effect or the property was designated prior to the <br />purchase of the property may be considered. <br />d. Owners have a right to a reasonable return or use of their <br />land, but are not guaranteed that the most profitable use <br />will be allowed. <br />e. The beneficial use of properties owned by charitable or non- <br />profit entities may be considered rather than the reasonable <br />financial return. <br />f. The difference in maintenance costs for a designated <br />property are not in themselves economic hardship. However, <br />the burden of exceptional costs on a property owner with <br />special needs or economic circumstances may be considered. <br />In these cases relief in the form of services or financial <br />assistance may be offered. <br />
