FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: SF-3 zoning contemplates a density of eight primary residences and eight secondary residences per acre, subject property is 19,602 SF in size, over three times the minimum lot size required by the LDC, narrow lot subject property is only 50.03’ wide at the front property line and 49.82’ wide at the rear property line, subject property can only house one primary residence and one secondary residence per acre. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: narrowest property of its size in the general vicinity (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: narrowest property of its size in the general vicinity, in general 65’ wide, which could be subdivided 3. The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: only one of the proposed four housing units will front on Clawson Road, thus maintaining the single family character of the streetscape, the remainder of the housing units will be accessible via a common driveway, LDC compliant parking will be provided onsite for each housing unit, the housing units shall comply with all applicable provisions of the Residential Design and Compatibility Standards of the LDC. ______________________________ ____________________________ Elaine Ramirez Executive Liaison Don Leighton-Burwell Chairman Diana Ramirez
