English term or phrase: buffer variance
Ich habe die Frage eben schon gestellt, mir ist aber wohl ein Fehler unterlaufen.

Dies ist aus einem kleinen Presseartikel. Der Bürgermeister in den USA möchte, dass sich eine chinesische Firma in seinem Ort ansiedelt:

"We’re trying to create jobs in ... and this cannot hurt that effort,” he said.
Coincidentally, Thursday night the City Council is slated to vote on three wetland ***buffer variances*** the company needs for construction of its 623,000-square-foot development on a 228-acre site in the city’s industrial park.
The staff recommendation is to approve the ***variances*** conditioned on approval coming from the Army Corps of Engineers and the Georgia Environmental Protection Division.
... said he was unaware how much the company spent on the trip, but he didn’t feel compelled to recuse himself from voting on the ***buffer variance*** or any future request from Sany."

Explanation:
so verstehe ich diesen Ausdruck.

**Area Variance**
This is a variance that allows for the use of land in a way that is not permitted by the dimensional or physical requirements of the zoning law. This type of variance is needed when a building application does not comply with the setback, height, lot, or area requirements of the zoning ordinance.
