    (b) Any permit holder or permit applicant may apply to the administering agency for a variance from specific requirements of this article.
    (c) Variances will be considered based on the submission of clear and convincing justification or evidence that the granting of a variance will not pose a significant threat to public health, public safety, or the environment. Should the variance be denied, the applicant may appeal the denial to the City Council pursuant to the procedures set forth in section 13.74.
    (d) A variance may be revoked by the administering agency upon ten (10) calendar days written notice sent to the applicant by regular mail at the applicant's address contained in applicant's last-filed application or renewal. Said variance may be revoked because of operational changes such as, but not limited to, a change in the justification or evidence submitted with the original variance application, or for violations of applicable laws and/or regulations. Should the variance be revoked, the applicant may appeal the denial to the City Council pursuant to the procedures set forth in section 13.74. (Ord. No. 1160, Exh. A.)
