The Board of Adjustment here by approves the variance request based upon the following findings
of fact.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION & FINDINGS
1. The request for variance is harmony with the general purposes and intent of Zoning
Ordinance No. 1710, as amended, and will not negatively impact the protection for the
adjacent surrounding property.
2. The request is to permit the reconstruction of a residence is not applicable with regard to a
non -conforming use due to it being permitted by right in the SF -3 District. There was a
previous structure recently demolished on the property under the City's Home Program and
it was built in the same approximate location as the demolished structure.
3. There are special or unique conditions of restricted area and physical feature for the new
slab that was constructed prior to the form board survey now existing on the subject parcel
of land. This is not generally applicable to other parcels of land in the same zoning district.
This has caused an unusual and practical difficulty to be in compliance with the provisions
sought here to be varied due to general contractor not fully in sync with its sub -contractors
schedules and thereby resulting in an unintentional result of not meeting the front and side
yard setbacks.
4. The hardship sought to be avoided is the result of (a) the applicant's own actions (self-
imposed or self-created although unintentional), and (b) an economic or financial hardship
would result from being required to move the new home from where it is currently
constructed.
5. The provisions of Zoning Ordinance No. 1710, and its amendments, that are sought to be
varied would deprive the applicant of the normal rights to use the property that is
commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same SF -3 Zoning District without approval
and not being required to fully comply with the front and side yard setback ordinance
provisions.
This decision was filed in the Board's office on 4/5/2022.
