The Property is located in the LR-1C zoning district, where 0.5 acre is the <br /> minimum lot area and 100 feet is the minimum lot width. The Property is <br /> approximately 0.43 acre in area and 62 feet in width. <br /> 3. The Plarming Commission reviewed this application on April 19, 2010 and on <br /> a vote of 5 - 0 recommended: <br /> a. Approval of the lot width and area variances, based on the following <br /> findings: <br /> i.

The City Council has considered this application including the findings and <br /> recommendation of the Planning Commission, reports by City staff, comments <br /> by the applicants and the public, and the effect of the proposed variance on the <br /> health, safety and welfare of the community. <br /> 5. The City Council finds that the conditions existing on this property are peculiar <br /> to it and do not apply generally to other property in this zoning district; that <br /> granting the variances would not adversely affect traffic conditions, light, air <br /> nor pose a fire hazard or other danger to neighboring property; would not <br /> Page 2 of 4 <br />
