Action
10
The Board of Adjustment shall make 
their analysis of the requirements based 
on the evidence in the record prior to 
granting a variance:

Analysis 
11
• The property’s location and surroundings are 
not self-imposed.
• The property is deprived of privilege that other 
properties in R-3 zoning have. 
• Rezoning is not appropriate as it is within a 
subdivision which requires all lots to be uniform 
with the same zoning.

Analysis 
12
• Minimum necessary to alleviate the hardship
• The request is not expected to have a 
detrimental effect as it the patio addition is 
not sharing a wall with the adjacent property 
to the north.

Recommendation
13
If the Board decides to grant the 
variance, it should be subject to the 
following stipulation:
Development shall be in conformance 
with applicable narrative and site plan 
dated October 14, 2024.
