FINDINGS
12
The Board of Adjustment shall make the 
following findings based on the evidence 
in the record prior to granting a variance:

REQUIRED FINDINGS
13
1.There are special circumstances or 
conditions applicable to the 
property including its size, shape, 
topography, location, or 
surroundings, which were not self-
imposed by the owner:
–Platted 1973: R1-6 setbacks for A-1.
–40% lot coverage when created. 
–Lot: 17,625 square feet.
–Variance is necessary for a substandard lot.

FINDINGS (continued)
14
2. Due to the special circumstances, the 
strict application of the Zoning 
Ordinance would deprive the property of 
privileges enjoyed by other properties in 
the same classification in the same 
zoning district.
–Strict application of the code would reduce the 
building envelope of 5 feet by 43 feet: 215 feet. 
–Adjacent properties have 15 -, 15- and 30-foot 
setbacks.

FINDINGS (continued)
15
3. The variance is the minimum 
necessary to alleviate the property 
hardship.
–The requested side and rear yard setbacks as 
well as an increase in lot coverage are the 
minimum necessary to construct a single-
family residential addition of adequate size.

FINDINGS (continued)
16
4. Granting the variance will not have a 
detrimental effect on the property, 
adjoining property, the surrounding 
neighborhood, or the City in general.
–The requested building setbacks are consistent 
with other properties in the same subdivision 
and surrounding area and will not detrimentally 
affect any neighboring properties.

RECOMMENDATION
17
Staff recommends approval of 
VAR20-04 per the findings, subject to 
the following:
•Development shall be in 
substantial conformance with the 
applicant’s site plan, floor plan, 
and building elevations dated 
March 18, 2021.
