LA19-000027 <br /> May 20,2019 <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br /> The Commission may recommend or Council may impose conditions in granting of variances. <br /> Any conditions imposed must be directly related to and must bear a rough proportionality to the <br /> impact created by the variance. No variance shall be granted or changed beyond the use <br /> permitted in this chapter in the district where such land is located. <br /> Septic System Status <br /> Staff has completed a preliminary review of the project for compatibility with the septic system, <br /> and has determined that the project is not likely to impact the existing or future septic sites. <br /> Practical Difficulties Statement <br /> Applicant has provided supporting documentation regarding the applicable Practical Difficulties <br /> attached as Exhibit B, and should be asked for additional testimony regarding the application. <br /> Practical Difficulties Analysis <br /> Staff finds the submitted application does not meet the practical difficulties standards. The <br /> applicant has indicated they can meet the City Code by building a separate accessory structure. <br /> There are not any unique circumstances with the land or the use to support a variance to allow <br /> an accessory building larger than the code would permit. The applicant has not demonstrated <br /> that the property is unique to support the variance,and the use of the property has been achieved <br /> via the construction of the home and the 1,152sq foot accessory structure. <br /> Public Comments <br /> To date, no public comments have been received.The applicant submitted neighboring <br /> signatures. <br /> Issues for Consideration <br /> 1. Does the Planning Commission find that the practical difficulties are met for this <br /> request? <br /> 2. Does the Planning Commission find there are unique circumstances with the <br /> property, that don't also pertain to other properties? <br /> 3. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties. Does the Planning <br /> Commission conclude any other findings where the applicant must receive this <br /> variance and cannot meet the city code in any way? <br /> 4. Are there any other issues or concerns with this application? <br /> Planning Staff Recommendation <br /> Planning Staff recommends denial based on the submitted practical difficulties. <br /> List of Exhibits <br /> Exhibit A.
