What does an area variance involve?

  1. Changing the use of a building

  2. Exceptions from zoning laws concerning yard or lot size

  3. Permitting new types of businesses in the area

  4. Allowing for higher traffic volumes

The correct answer is: Exceptions from zoning laws concerning yard or lot size

An area variance typically involves seeking an exception from zoning laws that relate to yard or lot size. A is incorrect because changing the use of a building may require a different type of variance. C is incorrect because permitting new types of businesses may also require a different type of variance. D is incorrect because allowing for higher traffic volumes is not directly related to zoning laws concerning yard or lot size.
