Practical difficulty means a difficulty with regard to one's ability to improve land stemming from regulations of this title. A practical difficulty is not a "hardship," rather it is a situation where the owner could comply with the regulations within the zoning ordinance, but would like a variance from the development standards to improve his or her site in a practical manner. For instance, a person may request a variance from a side yard setback due to a large tree which is blocking the only location that would meet the development standards for a new garage location.
