REQUIRED FINDINGS
9
The Board of Adjustment shall make 
the following findings based on the 
evidence in the record prior to 
granting a variance:

FINDINGS
10
•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)
11
•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;

FINDINGS (continued)
12
•Granting the variance will not have 
a detrimental effect on the 
property, adjoining property, the 
surrounding neighborhood, or the 
City in general.

If the Board decides to grant the 
variance, it should be subject to the 
following stipulation:
1. Development shall be in conformance 
with the reduced north side setback to 5 
feet and the south side setback to 10 feet 
as depicted in the site plan date stamped 
March 13, 2023.
