Lot platted in 1911 and zoned B multifamily size by TCAD 6804 + 1/2 Driveway Reserve (270 sq ft) requested variance is for existing land area to be legally developed Section 2:_ Variance Findings The Board must determine the existence of, sufficiency of, and weight of evidence supporting the findings described below. Therefore, you must complete each of the applicable Findings Statements as part of your application. Failure to do so may result in your application being rejected as incomplete. Please attach any additional supporting documents. NOTE: The Board cannot grant a variance that would provide the applicant with a special privilege not enjoyed by others similarly situated or potentially similarly situated. I contend that my entitlement to the requested variance is based on the following findings: Reasonable Use The zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: Lot 53 platted in 1911 is developed as a compliant B zoned property (duplex and garage apartment) in 1984 current 25-2-492 required MF 4 to be min 8000 sq ft. and must be at least 4 units. Hardship a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: Lot 53 (507 Elmwood) with less than 8000 sq ft and 3 units of MF zoning is by current LDC Non Complying and Non Conforming. It is the west end property on the street and adjacent to a commercial business parking lot. to the south is a fraternity and east is a 2002 new development. It is a isolated single lot with a substandard 1932 house divided into a duplex and a 194 7 Garage apartment. b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: Most other MF 4 properties are developed on side by side combined lots which results in compliant sized MF 4 lots. Other lots were redevelped prior to the current LDC. There is one 16 unit condominium and a lage fraternity complex on the block.
