FINDINGS
11
The Board of Adjustment shall make 
the following findings based on the 
evidence in the record prior to 
granting a variance:

REQUIRED FINDINGS
12
•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;

FINDINGS (continued)
13
•Due to the special circumstances, 
the strict application of the Zoning 
Ordinance would deprive the 
property of privileges enjoyed by 
other properties of the same 
classification in the same zoning 
district;

If the Board decides to grant the 
variance, it should be subject to the 
following stipulation:
Development shall be substantially in 
conformance with the applicant's project 
narrative, dated February 22, 2022, and 
site plan, dated April 21, 2022.
