A property owner was entitled to the minimum variances necessary to accommodate her proposed structure to replace a dilapidated camper on her lot. The owner had a pre-existing nonconforming use for the property for use as a weekend/vacation camp. Given the size and configuration of her lot, the property owner could not locate the structure necessary to the continuation of her pre-existing use in compliance with the setbacks or the lot area requirements of the zoning ordinance.  Robertson v. Henry Clay Tp. Zoning Hearing Bd., (Pa.Cmwlth.) November 28, 2006.

What does this mean to business owners?  The Zoning Board has some boundaries to its power to regulate the zoning ordinance.  So, if you have recently applied for a zoning variance, and the board denied it, you have additional option.
