Variance No. 2008-04 August 25, 2008 Page 1 of 1 Findings of Fact A. That because of special circumstances applicable to the subject property, including size, shape, topography, location, or surroundings, the strict application of the zoning ordinance is found to deprive the subject property of privileges not otherwise at variance with the intent and purpose of the provisions of this chapter. Special circumstances are applicable to the subject site that necessitates a parking variance for the project. The subject site is an irregularly shaped lot that is bordered by a vacant right-of-way line. Due to the shape of the lot and the placement of the existing buildings, the applicant is unable to provide additional parking on the site. B. That the granting of a variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of one or more substantial property rights. The parking variance is necessary to preserve property rights as the owners will be rehabilitating an existing bUilding and providing religious services to residents of the City as conditionally permitted by the zoning. C. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The granting of the variance for a reduction in parking will not be detrimental to surrounding properties as conditions of approval, such as a block wall and landscaping, are proposed to mitigate impacts to the residential uses to the north. As conditioned, the additional off-site parking spaces will minimize the impacts to surrounding properties. D. That the granting of a variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the City's General Plan in any way as a goal of the General Plan is to promote a balance of land uses that address basic community needs.
