SLOPES VARIANCE FINDINGS IN SUMMARY • Variances for driveway construction on slopes have been granted for sites with similar constraints. • Driveway construction on slopes is necessary to allow for a reasonable use of the property and is not a design decision. • The project does not create a significant probability of harmful environmental consequences. • The variance will result in water quality that is at least equal to the water quality achievable without the variance. FINDINGS OF FACT PER LDC 25-8-41 • City Staff determined the Findings of Fact have been met per LDC 25-8-41 for the requested variances • Consequently, City Staff recommended approval of the variances to the Environmental Commission (6/5/2024 Environmental Commission meeting) with variance conditions STAFF VARIANCE CONDITIONS ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION VOTE The Environmental Commission may accept or reject City Staff’s recommendation APPLICANT PRESENTATION
