Applications for variances from the strict application of the provisions of this chapter may be made and variances granted when the following circumstances are found to apply:

(a) That any variance granted shall be subject to such conditions as will assure that the adjustment thereby authorized shall not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with the limitations upon other properties in the vicinity and district in which the subject property is situate; and

(b) That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning provisions is found to deprive the subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in the vicinity and under an identical district classification.

The use of lands or buildings not in conformity with the nature of uses specified for the district in which such lands or buildings are located may not be allowed by the granting of a variance from the strict application of the provisions of this chapter.
