EXPIRATION DATE: August 10, 2021 FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: it is an older configured lot, code at the time the structure was done code would allow the 5 ft setback and code has been amended to allow 5 ft setback if adjacent to alley, if structure was 15 ft height, this structure has been moved from PUE 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: structure been there for some time and has been amended to be pulled out of the PUE and has been harden on the rear setback side (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: other lots have similar rear structures and trees along back side of this lot 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: it would not alter the area of character instead it would help to preserve the shop out in the back and has been renovated to be pulled back from the PUE and adds to area of character. ______________________________ ____________________________ Elaine Ramirez Executive Liaison Don Leighton-Burwell Chairman Diana Ramirez for
